Today, Hoboken is warm and sunny and it's hard to believe that less than 24 hours ago, the Mile Square City was a wet nightmare.

Rains fell hard on Hoboken yesterday, flooding several areas.

"Hoboken is facing severe flooding...due to the heavy rains during high tide," said Mayor Dawn Zimmer yesterday, who noted that manhole covers were being dislodged and that flooded areas were extremely dangerous.

This fall, Zimmer said she hopes flooding situations will improve this fall with the installation of a wet weather pump station which is currently being constructed by the North Hudson Sewerage Authority.

"With a flood pump due to be completed soon, I'll be doing everything in my power to make sure that this is one of the last times Hoboken has to deal with flooding of this magnitude," added Mayor Zimmer.

Yesterday, the city offered free parking in garages for residents in flood-prone areas.
