Parts of New Jersey have been inundated after three days of heavy rainfall.
Powerful thunderstorms brought some flooding to areas of Somerset County Thursday night. Parts of Prospect Street in Dunellen were closed due to flooding conditions. Some parts of the roadway saw water that was about two feet deep.
Drivers are warned to avoid driving through flooded streets because it can be difficult to determine how deep the water is. Driving though can be dangerous or cause serious damage to vehicles.
