“Still standing water and raw sewage… You have to smell it to believe it,” reported monicamoralestv via Instagram.

New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford was among those affected, when vehicle hydroplaned on the NJ Turnpike and he was “blasted in the face by the air bags,” according to the Cliffview Pilot.

Weatherford’s rental car was totaled in the accident, but the NJ State Police stepped in and gave the NFL player a ride to his Hoboken condo, the report stated.

Hoboken residents John Rotundo and Lisa Segali told Patch that water exploded out of the drain in their garage, forcing them to scramble to move their belongings. Together, the family used snow shovels and brooms to try to move the water before it could do damage. [Watch the below video]

“This has happened before, but never this badly… except for Sandy,” Rotundo told Patch. “I know the city is working towards a better system, but hopefully sooner than later.”

Other reported damage included:

• Flash flooding filled several city streets with water, forcing city workers to hose down and clean roadways before reopening them
• Rainwater made its way into a parking garage, “completely overwhelming the drain”
