Several homes were evacuated Friday after rain caused the Hackensack River to crest and flood the area in New Milford, New Jersey.

Twelve people were rescued after high waters filled the streets. On Harvard Street, it came up to about 2 to 3 feet high.

The police chief told CBS2's Kiran Dhillon it was a voluntary evacuation, and while the flooding was bad, many people chose to wait it out inside their homes.
