At 551 AM EDT, the public reported urban and small stream flooding
in much of the advisory area. Several reports of poor-drainage

Elkton, Gloucester City, Calvert, Cherry Hill, Bensalem, Evesham,
Mount Laurel, Norristown, Chester, Willingboro, Deptford, Voorhees,

well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.
