Latoyra Taylor was moving out of her family's home and into an apartment all her own when the rain began. As she stood behind a police line with other neighbors who were evacuated over the weekend, all the 20-year-old could do was think of what she had left behind.
"Everything that meant something is in the basement," she said Monday afternoon. "Pictures, diplomas, everything. Stuff that can't be replaced. Pictures of my deceased grandma."
Taylor, like thousands of others who were evacuated from their homes over the weekend, will have to wait until floodwaters recede to see what could be salvaged.
New Jersey officials meanwhile awaited word Tuesday as to whether the flood-ravaged areas of the state would be declared a federal disaster area.
