NJ Storm Aftermath: 24K Without Power After 58-MPH Wind, Flooding

Persistent rain, 58-mph winds and other weather-related problems left 24,000 without power across New Jersey on Sunday. A number of towns were also dealing with downed trees, downed wires and flooding issues after a storm that resembled a nor'easter blew through.

Some towns such as Toms River have as many as 1,900 without power, and Patch has the whole list of towns without outages (see below).

More bad weather was expected later Sunday. Patch also has the forecast, videos of towns with flooding and the wind speeds reported in many communities.

Flooding was also happening in certain parts of the state, such as Wildwood, Sea Isle City and Avalon. The George Redding Bridge was closed because of flooding.

Here is one of the many downed trees in Ventnor:
