Heavy rain associated with a low pressure system southeast of New Jersey moved into Monmouth County on the 13th. Three day storm totals (from the 11th through the 14th) in the county averaged between four and eleven inches with the highest amounts near the coast. This led to flooding on area creeks and rivers. The flooding was exacerbated by the strong onshore flow that slowed the water's escape into the ocean. Matters were complicated further when dams failed on both Spring Lake and Mill Pond
