According to the city, Hoboken received 3.74 inches of rain in less than 24 hours, with the most rain falling Thursday night. It was the fifth most intense rainstorm since 2016, reaching 2.92 inches per hour.
Flooding occurred in a few areas, mostly in Southwest Hoboken, from Third to Fifth streets on Jackson Street, and from Eighth to Ninth streets on Madison Street.
By 10 a.m. almost all the flooding had receded, and city crews began cleaning highly impacted areas.
Despite flooding, the city said both H1 and H5 pumps were operational, each capable of pumping up to 50 million gallons per day, as were the city’s two resiliency parks which together store nearly 700,000 gallons of water.
