Authorities say two people in New Jersey were killed after their vehicle was swept up in floodwaters during a storm that moved across the U.S. Northeast overnight.

From dramatic rescues in Scotch Plains and waterlogged roads in Plainfield, New Jersey floods hit hard. Here's photos, videos and what to know today.

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey after slow-moving thunderstorms unloaded a significant amount of rain, resulting in dangerous flash flooding across the Northeast into Monday night. At least 2 were killed.

Footage shows wooden slats from the home on the ground with other debris. The blast took place around the same time heavy rainfall hit the northeast.

Heavy rain on Monday flooded parts of New Jersey, including NJ Turnpike and New Providence, with videos showing streets completely submerged.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency Monday evening, July 14, as storms swept through the state. Severe flooding left cars underwater with drivers stranded, and thousands without power.
