More Flood Clean-Up

A summer of terrible flooding has hit Camden, New Jersey and surrounding areas. This morning homes and streets are drying out and residents are adding up their losses.

A traditional trouble spot is route 130 in Collingswood and yesterday it did it again. Neighbors were dealing with high water on their streets and inside their homes.

"This is the third time it happened in two weeks. It's getting to be old hat actually," said one resident.

"Kids think it is a giant pool. They like it but it is a nuisance for us us residents of the neighborhood," said another.

The good news is that 130 is back open to traffic this morning.

The city of Camden is cleaning up from flooding, too. Last night some cars had to be abandoned. Some did make it through. For homeowners they had basement flooding. Small pumps were straining to get rid of the mud and muck.

"We have renters, homeowners insurance," said one Camden resident.

Reporter, "Do you think it will cover this?"

"Probably not. We are hoping. If not we have to start all over again."

The water receded in an hour but that wasn't fast enough to save furniture and belongings.
