" "...minor flooding." If you have ever been flooded out, you realize that there "minor" flooding doesn't exist because you house and items are permanently damaged.

How about some clear reporting. Like the creeks or the river flooded out an area. Or, streets are one inch deep due to drainage problems.

People want clear and concise information. Not vague comments. "

" It isn't helpful when the press tries to frighten us instead of inform us. I want to know where there is standing water that could cause us to hydroplane while driving. Please avoid Skellenger Lane in Rutherford as the standing water is about 1 to 1.5 inches deep and could cause an issue at higher speeds. Thanks! "

" Vintage High School's new parking and entry project that was just completed doesn't drain. Kids couldn't be let off the bus for fear of having to throw out life preservers. Who did that bit of concrete and asphalt planning for the school district? Call a meeting of the contractors and planners/designers and get them to fix it right. This should be at no additional cost to the NVUSD. The taxpayers school improvement bond money needs protected from waste before it's too late. "
