Continued flooding since the overnight winter storm that blew through New Jersey remained a top concern for communities on Wednesday — especially those next to overflowing rivers.

Flood-prone Manville was largely submerged, as seen in video shared to YouTube by NJ.com:

Along the Raritan River in Middlesex County, parks were also largely underwater into Wednesday afternoon, as shared to X, formerly Twitter, by Kyle David.

Piscataway dealt with cresting levels of the Raritan River around noon time, right at the Birchwood Apartments near Rt. 287.
