New Jersey remains under a state of emergency Tuesday after flash flooding devastated many communities Monday night, especially in Union and Somerset counties. Gov. Phil Murphy toured some of the damage Tuesday morning in Berkeley Heights.

The flooding necessitated rescues, grounded planes, and submerged vehicles in waist-high water less than two weeks after flash floods in Texas killed more than 100 people, triggering concerns about the increasing number of flood fatalities in recent years because of heavier rainfall,

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,
