LITTLE FALLS, N.J. (WHDH) – Flash floods swamped many parts of New Jersey over the weekend after powerful storms dumped nearly five inches of rain in some areas.
Heavy rainfall swept cars away Saturday in Little Falls, causing vehicles from a local dealership to slide down the road.
Parking lots were transformed into swimming pools as water covered parked cars and flooding highways.
Water submerged roadways across the state, creating dangerous driving conditions.
Officials were forced to shut down a section of the highway where water blocked the road.
The rainfall even stalled a wedding, when members of the bridal party were stranded.
Police officers were called in to rescue the bride and groom when their cars became stuck in fast-rising water.
A massive cleanup effort was still underway Sunday night as dozens of destroyed cars were towed away.
