Hundreds of New Jersey homes were damaged by flooding Monday​, and many families are just beginning the process of filing insurance claims.

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, city officials said. This comes days after two others were killed in severe storms in Plainfield on July 3.

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey after slow-moving thunderstorms unloaded a significant amount of rain, resulting in dangerous flash flooding across the Northeast into Monday night. At least 2 were killed.
