Why it matters

Flooding along the Delaware River poses risks to local infrastructure and property in the affected areas. Moderate flooding levels can cause many roads to become impassable and may lead to damage to some houses.

The flooding is tied to an unusually early-season nor'easter, which is a significant weather event. This storm is described as unusual for occurring so early in the autumn and may foreshadow future weather patterns later in the fall and winter.
