"Hurricane Joaquin may have avoided landfall in the United States, but that still didn't make for a comfortable weekend along the East Coast. The region saw seven states fall victim to floods that proved to be deadly when they uprooted trees and submerged roadways in standing water."

"Stacy Weathers, 46, of Tinton Falls was killed Saturday when a falling tree landed on her convertible on Route 34, reports the Asbury Park Press. She was pronounced dead at the scene, about 15 minutes after the tree fell from the northern side of the highway as she was headed southbound. According to Action News, an entire house in Cape May County broke away from its foundation and succumbed to flood waters Friday night. After dislodging from its moorings, the vacant house sank into the bay. By Saturday morning, its remains were swept about half a mile away in to the entrance of Turtle Creek."The current was so strong in the storm surge I looked at the timbers, 16-inch creosote timbers, 60-feet long, broken like toothpicks," homeowner Stuart Tate told Action News. "

This article mainly focused on what happened in New Jersey and the death that resulted because of the flooding. But this article also focused on Virginia and how the flood was impacting them. The residents of Virginia were warned to stay off the roads and that this flood might be the worst flood that they ever had. Many of the roads were closed in Virginia and people reported by Friday the water was already ankle deep.
