Heavy rainfall brought on by the remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded a road in Lambertville, New Jersey, prompting the Governor to declare a state of emergency.

This footage filmed by Pearl Gabel, shows a suburban street inundated by the floodwaters, as a swamp boat crew scopes out the submerged vehicles.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency for the Garden State in response to the severe weather.

Earlier, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency for the area, describing the flooding as “life-threatening” and urging locals to avoid travel where possible. Credit: Pearl Gabel via Storyful
