I get word from the cops in my hometown that street is now under the water again. So we have helicopter over that soon. Look at south street. Thinks where i lived before i moved to moorestown right up the street from here. I know this corner well. You can see that driver in the van just made a right. South street still opened but nobody will get past fifth street where traffic lights are out. Mike, show them dark traffic lights and perhaps they are out since nobody has to stop here maybe but you do have to come to a stop making a right hike that driver did. Here comes another car. Get by south street. No water on south street. But for some reason the water is still flowing here without on this side, of the fifth street and manhole cover over there water still flowing, not a huge water main break. The the street not flooding. It is not getting in any businesses. We had bob kelly mention Johnny Rockets the place on the corner here. The adidas store across the street all dry. You can sea water still flowing and Water Department is not here. They have got five cones out, and some Yellow Police tape up, but nobody actively trying to shut this water down which likely means that the people live here still have water pressure and Water Services but as we always see with water main breaks the street getting muddy. We have seen far worse then this and the word is in moorestown, that situation far worse then this. Moorestown main street bob will be telling thaw but that is closed between church and chester avenues, two main drags going to and from route 38 and that is right in the heart of the business district. Im told that water main break is in front of the star bucks, busy place at the busy time of the day, of course, over in moorestown, and south jersey.
