Flood Update: Hopatcong's Clear

Police said heavy rain didn't slow borough.

While some Hopatcong homes are still without electricity after Hurricane Irene, flooding from Wednesday night's storms didn't close any roads or cause any power outages, police said.

Jersey Central Power & Light's power outage map said less than 500 homes were without power in Hopatcong, Branchville, Lafayette, Layton, Montague, Sparta and Sussex as of Thursday afternoon.

Police said the fire department has pumped out many basements throughout the day, however.
