New Jersey is under a state of emergency after a flash flood caused at least two deaths in Plainfield and damage across Union County.

Heavy rain swept across New York City and the Tri-State area on Monday night, inundating the region with flash flooding that stranded vehicles in roadways, closed subway lines and led to the declaration of states of emergency.

After torrential rains and thunderstorms left at least two dead on July 14, Gov. Phil Murphy said, that as of July 15, state officials were not aware of any other loss of life in the state. “We’re seeing more of this — more frequency and more intensity,” Murphy said. “This clearly was a significant weather event.”

It wasn't clear if anyone was believed to be missing in the aftermath. Monday's storms were the second to turn deadly in the Garden State this month. Early in July, three people died when thunderstorms felled trees. Two of them were from Plainfield.
