NEW YORK (WABC) — As another round of drenching storms moved across the Tri-State overnight and into Monday, downed trees and flooded roads were left behind.
The flooding was especially a big concern across parts of northern New Jersey.
In Newark, cars stalled after drivers got caught in the high water and had to push their vehicles to higher and drier land.
It was much of the same story in Paterson where cars got stranded outside of St. Joseph Hospital.
And in Westwood, some roads had to be shut down due to all the flooding from the Pascack Brook. Multiple residents moved their vehicles to higher ground.
The location has a flood monitor because the area has a history of flooding with heavy rainfall in a short period of time.
The ground is saturated in many areas, so the water has been slow to recede.
The weather also brought down trees across the area.
Several large trees fell across New York City and one even fell into a charter bus in Westport, Connecticut.
At least one of the bus’s windows was broken when the tree came down on I-95 around 6:45 a.m.
Sixteen people were onboard at the time and a few passengers suffered minor injuries.
On Long Island, a large tree fell onto the LIRR tracks in Smithtown. A train crashed into the tree, smashing the window to the engineer’s compartment.
One person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
