Drivers did their best to navigate flooded streets in Newark, New Jersey. Several cars were stuck on Wilson Avenue and Avenue L. Some vehicles were left stranded, while a few drivers did their best to get through with water up to their undercarriage. One car was so deep, the headlights started flickering, going even further underwater as trucks sped by.
In Haworth, New Jersey, a downed tree fell on top of a house. Residents of the home say their 16-year-old daughter was home at the time in the room where the tree fell. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt.
