On Saturday, September 26, 2026, roads in New Jersey were flooded, and a number of homes were inundated as a nor’easter began to take shape along the East Coast.

The storm’s heavy rains and strong winds caused water to rise on several main thoroughfares, forcing residents to evacuate or seek higher ground. Local authorities reported that the flooding reached levels that breached some residential properties, leaving water inside living areas and damaging property.

The nor’easter, a powerful winter storm that typically brings high winds, heavy rain and, in some cases, snow, is moving up the coast. Meteorologists say the storm’s path is likely to bring continued rainfall and high tides to the region in the coming days.

At the same time, waves were pounding the coast in Scituate, Massachusetts, as the tide rose during the storm. The imagery captured the force of the water against the shoreline, underscoring the broader impact of the nor’easter along the Atlantic seaboard.

Nor’easters are known for producing severe weather conditions that can lead to flooding, power outages and coastal erosion. Residents in affected areas are advised to stay informed through local news and weather updates.
