Heavy rains and flash flooding in the northeast have caused two deaths in New Jersey. More rain is expected through mid-week for portions of the eastern and central U.S.

Some flooding may have crept close to streets in Historic Ellicott City over the last few days, but it was nothing compared to the devastation Main Street has had in the past.

New Jersey is expected to miss the heaviest rainfall in the latest round of thunderstorms on Tuesday, but more flash flooding is possible.

The National Weather Service urged people to avoid travel if a flash flood warning was in place for their area.

The extreme rainfall that occurred in the Northeast on Monday could happen more often in the future as a result of climate change, research shows.

At 3:09 p.m. on Tuesday, the NWS Raleigh NC released a flood advisory in effect until 6:15 p.m. for Person County.

As the water rises, so does the Kerr County community, especially one man who reunited a brother and sister, swept away in the flood.

A New York City subway flooded, brown water overflowed a New Jersey street and partially submerged vehicles, and the East Coast saw a torrent of rain that broke several rainfall records on Monday. The rainfall was part of a series of storms that set off flash flood warnings from Virginia to Pennsylvania.
