Hurricane Irene landed on New Jersey in the early morning of August 28, 2011, resulting in heavy rainfall over a large area, leading to the large-scale flooding. Electrical wires were downed by the strong wind, and the road flooding caused delay in access and repair. Some electrical substations were flooded as well. Hundreds of thousands of residents were out of power for several days.Many stormwater management plans for the existing development areas are already in place, and several major flood control projects are already on the drawing boards. It is yet another reminder for action and water infrastructure investment.
Photo to the left shows flooded gas station, shop, and bridge along the Millstone River in Hillsborough, New Jersey.
Rest of the photos that I took can be found in my water photo album.

Clean Drinking Water for Everyone:
Hello,
Our University of Alabama patented solar desalination product uses no electricity, can be taken anywhere and extracts pure water from any contaminated water source. It removes fluoride, salt, pesticides, bacteria, dirt and other contaminants from any water. It aids people to be prepared for disasters, saves hundreds on bottled water and utility bills.
Our site is here:

These units can also be placed together in arrays of literally any size, as needed, to accommodate a desert vegetable farm or remote village's water needs, etc.
Thank you for your very valuable time.
