There are many points of interest in Franklin Township with almost 50 square miles consisting of historical landmarks and state and county public parklands, but today's most interesting area was by far that of viewing the aftermath of hurricane Irene's destructive path located here in Somerset County, New Jersey.
Today, after enduring a night of hurricane Irene's wind and rain, I took a quick drive around tour of Franklin Twp while avoiding damaged trees that were creating roadblocks and also flooded highways . Of especial interest was the flooding I saw located in the vicinity between JFK Blvd. and Franklin Blvd. The water levels both areas reached about three feet due to the continuing rising waters of the D&R Canal and the Raritan River. The photos were taken at Easton Avenue/or Canal Rd located in S. Bound Brook accross from the Ukranian Church and also at thethe other end of Easton Avenue located in Franklin Twp near the Easton Avenue Shopping Center entrance that is very close to New Brunswick, NJ. Unbelievable!
