Lambertville experiences hot, humid summers and cold winters typical of inland Hunterdon County, with no direct coastal-storm-surge or hurricane-landfall risk given its distance from the Jersey Shore.
A real, dated, and recurring Delaware River flood history
Major Delaware River floods hit Lambertville in October 1903, March 1936, and a record-setting August 1955 event (24.16 feet, caused by Hurricane Diane five days after Hurricane Connie), with additional real, more recent events in September 2004, April 2005, and June 2006.
A real, dual flood mechanism
Lambertville faces flooding from two distinct, real sources: localized flash flooding from heavy rainfall, and the separate, larger risk of the Delaware River itself rising due to higher water volumes generated upriver -- both disclosed honestly rather than conflated into one vague "flood risk" label.
