Roads are closed in parts of Pennsylvania and the New Jersey Transit Service has 40-60 minutes delays, because of heavy rain and flooding. It's part of a system that's moving through the Northeast Tuesday morning.
The storms have dumped 2 inches of rain or more and packed wind gusts of 65 mph mainly over Gloucester, Camden, Salem, Cumberland and Atlantic counties. Other parts of the state haven't been spared heavy rain and flooding is possible.
The state Transportation Department reports flooding has closed parts of Route 42 in Monroe Township, Route 70 in Cherry Hill and Route 130 in Gloucester City.
Atlantic City Electric says nearly 9,000 customers are without electricity, mainly in Gloucester County. More than 10,000 people are without power in Delaware and there are numerous power outages in the Philadelphia area.
The following is a collection of photos and tweets from social media.
