North Jersey Streets Flood During Thunderstorms: See Dramatic Photos

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — At least two people were rescued from a trapped car and many homes lost power on Friday night when a thunderstorm swept through North Jersey.

"This evening’s storm brought another challenging evening for our firefighters," the Glen Rock Fire Department said on social media. "Our department responded to 15 calls for service related to flooding throughout the evening."

They noted, "One of the most serious incidents involved a vehicle trapped in floodwater with two occupants inside. Working alongside [police], our members entered the water and pulled the two occupants to safety."

Bergen County-based photographer Boyd A. Loving captured these photos in Glen Rock, Fair Lawn, and on Route 208 in Passaic County.

Power Outages

Ridgewood police noted that a tree took power lines down near North Monroe Street and West Ridgewood Avenue.

While hundreds of homes in North Jersey lost power on Friday night, by morning, Orange & Rockland reported only 71 Bergen county customers and 28 Passaic County customers still without power. It was expected to restored Saturday afternoon.

PSE&G reported numerous outages throughout New Jersey on Friday night, including in Hoboken and North Bergen. The number was down to 391 by Saturday morning.

Glen Rock's Volunteer Fire Department noted, "If you’ve ever considered making a difference in your community, come see what it’s all about. Stop by the firehouse at 7:30 p.m. any Thursday to learn more about volunteering with your local fire department. It takes a community to protect a community. Come be part of the team."
