Torrential rain caused flash flood warnings in parts of seven New Jersey counties.
Heavy rainfall that pounded much of New Jersey on Friday flooded several towns, caused major flight delays at Newark Liberty International Airport and temporarily suspended the 33rd Street PATH line.
Authorities rescued people from cars trapped in flooded streets in Kearny, Hackensack, Jersey City, Newark and East Newark, according to the National Weather Service. Many streets in Hudson County were completely overcome by water, and Hoboken police asked motorists not to drive during the storm.
NBC New York reported people pushing their cars through the water and one man canoeing across a flooded street.
