On Tuesday, heavy rains in New York and New Jersey brought flash flooding. The floods left behind two killed people and led New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to declare a state of emergency.
Rescue operations were undertaken as several drivers were stuck in the floods inside their vehicles.
In Plainfield, New Jersey, two people died when a car was swept away by floodwaters, according to Governor Murphy.
Additional storms are expected in the upcoming hours with the potential for more flooding in the north-east as well as Florida and the mid-western US, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Several main roads in New Jersey were closed because of the floods, while both New York City and New Jersey experienced subway delays.
New Jersey saw more than 15 cm of rain on Tuesday evening, leading to flight delays and cancellations at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Flood waters also rushed through subway stations in New York City on Monday evening.
New York City saw its second-ever highest hourly rainfall in over 80 years.
