Another driver attempted to maneuver through traffic to avoid the flooded areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Waterline was so high all this stuff was floating. People were trying to be a hero and make it, though,&#8221; said Kaz Houshmand of Cherry Hill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">As drivers exited their vehicles to investigate conditions, one person cleared a storm drain, allowing water to begin flowing again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">More than an hour later, drivers were still dealing with the aftermath in Camden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;I open my door, I&#8217;m flooded. I don&#8217;t even know what I&#8217;m gonna do.

We&#8217;re waving, don&#8217;t go, don&#8217;t go, it&#8217;s flooded.&#8217; His engine seized up; everything started flashing and beeping,&#8221; said Phoenix Stokes of Camden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Aerial footage showed extensive flooding throughout the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;I think what you had was a recipe for disaster. High saturation level, high water table areas on top of that it was high tide. Those three things coming together landed us in very potentially hazardous flood zones,&#8221; said Dan Keashen, director of public affairs for the Camden County Commissioners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Flooded vehicles were towed from Cooper Street and Delaware Avenue. At Seventh and Atlantic streets, a tractor-trailer drove through floodwaters and made it through, a move officials advised against.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;With a second round coming, make sure people shouldn&#8217;t be crossing water they don&#8217;t see the bottom of. Don&#8217;t take chances. Stay home,&#8221; Keashen said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Officials said two public libraries in Camden were closed because of flooding. City officials are now assessing the damage and determining next steps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Despite the widespread flooding and stranded vehicles, officials said no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Residents affected by the flooding are encouraged to file claims with their insurance.
