New York and New Jersey hit by torrential rain and flash floods, forcing highway closures, suspending subway lines and flight delays.

Hundreds of New Jersey homes were damaged by flooding Monday​, and many families are just beginning the process of filing insurance claims.

Two people died when flash floods struck New Jersey on Monday, submerging cars, flooding roadways and canceling flights. The victims were killed when their car was swept into Cedar Brook in Plainfield, city officials said. This comes days after two others were killed in severe storms in Plainfield on July 3.
