Trenton Storm and Flood Facts
- The remnants of Hurricane Ida hit Mercer County hard on September 1–2, 2021: Rutgers' New Jersey State Climate Office recorded 9.13 inches of rain in Hopewell Township, and the heaviest band of the storm ran from northern Mercer County northeast across the state. Statewide, Ida's flash flooding and river flooding killed roughly 30 people.
- On the night of September 1, 2021, Trenton police went door to door in The Island neighborhood along Mount Vernon and Clearfield avenues, ordering everyone out by 8 a.m. Thursday as utilities were shut off ahead of Delaware River flooding. Officials said about 500 homes were in the evacuation area, and residents were told to plan to be away for at least one to two days.
- That same evening, an EF-0 tornado with estimated peak winds of about 75 mph moved through West Windsor Township in Mercer County from 7:32 to 7:35 p.m. along a 2.73-mile path; no injuries were reported.
- The National Weather Service lists flood stage for the Delaware River at Trenton at 20 ft; the record crest is 30.3 ft on March 8, 1904, and the third-highest is 28.6 ft on August 20, 1955.
