For some in Newark's East Ward, the flood waters that transformed some streets into lakes in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene became an occasion for fun on Sunday.
Two men were seen jet skiing up and down South Street in the ward's Ironbound neighborhood, sending rippling waves to people's already waterlogged homes.
A black muscle truck and other vehicles also went on joyrides through Malvern Street, angering more residents who were pumping water out of their basements.
