Boom, boom
No, you didn’t image that booming noise and the shaking at about 1 a.m. on Friday. It wasn’t an earthquake. There was a large explosion at a building in Manville, which is about 16 miles from Princeton. The Saffron Banquet Hall on South Main Street caught on fire. Because of the flooding and storm damage in Manville, firefighters had trouble getting to and putting out several fires there, including that one.
Four area residents die during flash flooding
As we wrote on Thursday, a woman from Chile who was living in Ringoes, a Belle Mead woman, and two other motorists who were stuck in their vehicles in Hopewell Township died during the flash flooding on Wednesday night. The identities of the two people who died in Hopewell have not been released yet. We expect that information today or over the weekend. Our condolences to the family and friends of the storm victims.
Police and other emergency responders worked to rescue dozens of stranded drivers across the region on Wednesday night.
