The deluge also left a baseball stadium in Bridgewater, New Jersey submerged. The officials also had to rescue people through a boat in some residential areas.

Marcio Rodrigues, an Auto Repair Shop Owner, told BBC that he is a father to three kids and has a wife, but the destruction has left him numb, and he is not even able to calculate his losses. He said his business was his dream and is now under the water because of flash floods in New York.

Tornadoes in New Jersey destroyed many homes, taking away the roofs. While recalling the storm night, people said that "they were lucky" as the condition was horrific.
