Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency Monday night as flash flooding across the northern section of New Jersey caused severe trouble. Murphy asked residents to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. “I am declaring a State of Emergency given flash flooding and high levels of rainfall in parts of the state,” he said.

The region of Texas that suffered tremendous loss last week because of heavy rain and flooding is once again in danger of taking in more water. On Sunday morning, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the epicenter of the catastrophic Independence Day flooding event.
