3. Pffft.

That's no storm. This was a storm!

Hurricane Floyd - 1999

Rainfall amounts peaked at 13.34 in (339 mm) in Somerville, New Jersey, and 12.36 in (314 mm) in Vernon, Delaware. The Raritan River basin experienced record flooding as a result of Floyd's heavy rains, 4.5 ft (1.4 m) higher than the previous record flood crest.[25] Bound Brook, New Jersey, was especially hard hit by a record flooding event: a 42-foot (12.8 m) flood crest,[26] 14 ft (4.3 m) above flood stage, sent 12 ft (3.7 m) of water on Main Street and drowned three people.[25][27]

Yeah, I lived 5 miles south of Somerville at the time. Looks like only 3 inches for central and north Jersey.
