No problems that I've seen yet in Atlantic County. We had a lot of rain Saturday night; the creek on my property rose about a foot when it stopped raining about 24 hours later. But the rest of the storms have pretty much missed us here. We got some rain last night but not enough to flood anything.
There often seems to be a pattern if you watch the weather radar. Big storms sweep Eastward from Pittsburgh and more often than not they stop short of here and move northward. I saw the same ting happen many times while living in Medford also (but of course a few years ago we got nailed with a "hundred year flood" there....
Hope everyone else is OK. I think most of the damage is in Pennsylvania - sounds bad in parts of Berks, Chester and Bucks counties.

The Delaware river is about to crest, but it has not yet. It will be just a couple of inches short of the flood of April 2005, which was absolutely devastating. (I basically lost my house in it). Locks and bridges were rebuilt, house remodeled, lives only just put back together. 
This picture shows my friend Taylor pointing out (with his foot) where the water crested at Scudders Falls in Ewing; this was taken at about 4:30 this afternoon:

He said he was going to come back and put a better mark down; you can't see it in the photo but there is a reference mark on the guardrail.
