Let's view the #NJ flooding on a map. Sooo many #Rstats #ggplot2 graphic elements in this plot and moving from mapping coordinate system to cartesian and back again. Crazy. Code here: gist.github.com/apsteinmetz/...

I continue to explore visualizing flooding with #rstats, #ggplot with stream gage data from the USGS. Here are the USGS stream gage data for the flooding in NJ on 7/14. You'll note that "Bound Brook in Middelsex" is the station downstream from Plainfield, where the worst flooding occured.
