Parts of western Connecticut saw more than 3 inches of rain come down during Monday night's storms, which triggered flash floods in New York and New Jersey.

Filmed by a resident in New Jersey, this truck was seen having to plough through a large pool of water which remains from the floods that hit the state on the 14th of July.

Flash flood warnings were issued by the National Weather service Monday night as heavy storms rolled into the area. Flood warnings were issued for Morris, Warren, Bergen, Essex, Hunterdon, Hudson, Passaic, Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties, according to the National Weather Service.

Thousands across New Jersey lost power Monday, July 14, as severe storms blew through the region, toppling trees and knocking down wires.More than 4,600 customers were in the dark as of 6:45 p.m., utility officials said.

More severe storms are possible Thursday in New Jersey after a tornado warning was issued in Atlantic and Ocean counties on Wednesday night. The National Weather Service said a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located northeast of Atlantic City at 11:16 p.

The heaviest rainfall and the most widespread thunderstorms are expected to develop from Northern Virginia through southern New England in the afternoon. The Weather Prediction Center has issued a “moderate” (Level 3 out of 4) risk for flash flooding in that corridor through Tuesday morning.

The intense thunderstorm may have looked and sounded like a tornado, but that's not what happened, according to forecasters who examined the damage.
