More than 14 inches of rain deluged parts of southeastern Sussex and northwestern Morris Counties in northwestern New Jersey during August 11-14, 2000. A severe thunderstorm on August 12 produced as much as 90 percent of the total 4-day rainfall. This storm resulted in a 1,000year event for total rainfall in a 6-hour period. About 2,700 homes and businesses in western Morris, southeastern Sussex, and parts of Warren and Hunterdon Counties along the Musconetcong River were flooded. About 2,600 people in Morris, Sussex, and Hunterdon Counties were evacuated. Four dams in Sussex County failed completely and 26 dams in Morris and Sussex Counties sustained damage. Damage was estimated at $179 million, and Morris and Sussex Counties were declared Federal disaster areas. Flood peaks at some U.S. Geological Survey stream-gaging stations on Lake Hopatcong, Musconetcong River, Green Pond Brook, Rockaway River, and Russia Brook tributary were the highest ever recorded. Elevations of flood peaks at most of the study sites along the Wallkill River from Sparta downstream to Hamburg and at Russia Brook tributary at Milton equaled or exceeded the 500-year flood elevation as calculated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Because the area of record-breaking rainfall was limited in extent, however, flood peaks at many other gaging stations in northwestern New Jersey were much smaller. INTRODUCTION As much as 18.6 in. of rain deluged parts of southeastern and northwestern Morris Counties in northwestern New Jersey during August 11-14, 2000 (fig. 1). A severe thunderstorm on August 12 produced 80 to 90 percent of the total 4-day rainfall in a 6-hour period from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Rainfall was greatest in Sparta and Jefferson Townships, along the Sussex/Morris County border, where 20 KILOMETERS
