Two people died when flash floods struck New Jersey on Monday, submerging cars, flooding roadways and canceling flights. The victims were killed when their car was swept into Cedar Brook in Plainfield, city officials said. This comes days after two others were killed in severe storms in Plainfield on July 3.

The two women killed amid severe thunderstorms and intense flooding in New Jersey were on their way to a bingo night at the time, family and friends said.
