Flash Flooding Impacts Northeast And Mid-Atlantic Cities

No injuries or deaths have been reported at this time but several rescues have been conducted.

Cities across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic have been impacted by flash flooding after storms produced heavy rainfall.

The storms prompted flash floods in the metropolitan areas from New York City to Washington, D.C., leading to road closures and a state of emergency declaration in New Jersey.

In northern New Jersey, between three and 6.5 inches of rain fell, with continued flood impacts expected Tuesday.

Parts of the Mid-Atlantic, including much of the state of Virginia, were under flood watches as forecasters warned more thunderstorms and heavy downpours were in store Tuesday as well.

No injuries or deaths have been reported at this time but several rescues have been conducted.

The floods have caused significant damage throughout the affected areas. The water is also impacting commuters.
