NJ Gov Declares States of Emergency for 5 Flood-Impacted Counties; More Merciless Weather on the Way


Gov. Murphy signed an executive order Tuesday declaring states of emergency for Bergen, Essex, Monmouth, Ocean and Passaic counties, where hundreds of homes were damaged and dozens of people and pets had to be rescued. Some communities got enough rainfall for an entire month over the last few days, he said — and more storms are expected later in the afternoon.

Scattered storms will begin to pop up, especially to the north and west of the city, anytime after 2:00PM.

Flood warnings remain in effect for New Jersey’s Essex, Morris and Passaic counties.
