Chris Dolce,Meteorologist: Each purple locator on the map below is a location currently in major flood across NJ and SE PA. This is from a combination of a preexisting saturated ground and Irene's heavy rains. Sunday August 28, 2011 9:53

RIvers will continue to rise even after the rain stops. This looks to be a major flooding event maybe on par with Ivan in 2004.
