Hurricane Irene: Storm Photos from Around Lawrence

A lot went on late Saturday and all day today (Sunday, Aug. 28) as Hurricane Irene struck New Jersey and made itself felt in Lawrence Township.

Trees were toppled, power lines were torned down, roadways were flooded, and hundreds of people had to be evacuated from homes, apartments and motels threatened by rising water.

A detailed account of how the storm affected the township will appear tomorrow on Lawrenceville Patch.

Until then, take a look at these photos showing the flooding and some of the rescue efforts that were undertaken by Lawrence Township's volunteer firefighters, with the assistance of police, emergency medical personnel and the National Guard.

Please share your photos of what you saw and tell us what happened in your neighborhood. Did you lose power? How did you ride out the storm? What kind of damage, if any, did your home or business sustain? Help us document what was a major event in township history.
