JUST IN: 'Life-threatening' flash flooding and water rescues are underway in New Jersey as a nor'easter slams the East Coast
A nor'easter's heavy rains were causing"life threatening flash flooding" and prompting water rescues in northern New Jersey on Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service said, as the storm threatened more flooding and power outages elsewhere throughout the day.
The storm, expected to deliver powerful winds and about 2 to 5 inches of rain in short order over several states, led the governors of New Jersey and New York to declare states of emergency in advance, just weeks after Hurricane Ida left severe flooding there in early September.More than 3.5 inches of rain had already fallen across parts of New Jersey just west and south of New York City by 8:30 a.m.
