MSV Exclusive: Bricks tumble at 6th and Jefferson
Just minutes earlier a cascade of bricks came tumbling off the facing of an elevated window at 6th and Jefferson. No one was hurt but the 25 foot crash drew a crowd and it's a indication that all is not back to normal.
Be careful out there. A number of streets are closed due to flooding and some people are walking through them even though fallen power lines have not been secured.

Shoprite area completely flooded, Southwest hammered
It could have been worse but it's more than several feet deep.
The Southwest a notoriously bad for flooding has taken a bad hit. City officials believe the entry from the south will be blocked due to the heavy water for some hours yet.
Emergency officials report more than half a dozen power lines are down along with trees. They are attending to it and evaluating across the city.

Walking in floodwater = Electrocution
The mayor is moving in town via a jeep and notes:
"... just saw two men walking in flood waters ---- please Hoboken --- stay safe --- stay out of flood waters --- downed live wires.
