NJ Nor'easter: 17K Lose Power, Street Floods, 62-MPH Wind: Video

A nor'easter roared through much of New Jersey on Saturday, and video was capturing the scene in some towns where streets were flooded. Patch has the list of towns that lacked power – more than 17,000 at mid-day – and who was hit the worst (see below).

Some towns had winds as strong as 62 mph and had 2.4 inches of rain (see lists below).

In Princeton, Bridgewater and many other towns, downed trees and wires were blocking roads (see list of flooded highways below).

Long Beach Boulevard on Long Beach Island was "completely impassable," police said. Later in the day, North Jersey communities such as Bogota and Hackensack were inpacted (see videos below).

More rain was expected in some areas later Saturday and Sunday (see forecast below).

The nor'easter was strongly battering the streets and shoreline in Point Pleasant Beach and other Jersey Shore towns, where residents were wading through the high water.

Coastal flood and high-wind warnings were in effect along the Jersey Shore, where 50-mph wind gusts were expected, and a hazardous weather outlook was in effect throughout the state.

For some places, this will likely be the highest water levels seen in several years. At this level, widespread flooding of roadways is expected with many roads becoming impassable, according to the National Weather Service.

Lives may be at risk when people put themselves in harm's way, according to the NWS. Some damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur. In Middlesex County, minor road flooding is possible in Woodbridge Township, Perth Amboy, Old Bridge Township, and South Amboy.

Waves are 8 to 12 feet on the oceanfront.
