A nor'easter's heavy rains flooded some roads in parts of New Jersey and upstate New York on Tuesday, and the storm is threatening more high water and power outages in the Northeast as the day goes on.
The storm, expected to deliver powerful winds and about 2 to 6 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.
Up to 5 inches of rain had fallen in parts of New Jersey by 11 a.m. ET, flooding some roads, creeks and streams, the National Weather Service said.
