In Surf City, Scojo's Restaurant shared a couple photos to Facebook showing the outdoor dining area largely underwater.

The business said thankfully, no water had gotten inside, but they were closed for Sunday waiting for the flooding to recede.

The effects of the storm were not yet over for North Jersey, according to New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow.

That region was expected to see another three to five or more inches of rain as the weekend wrapped up. Luckily, wind and coastal flooding impacts in New Jersey should be minor going forward, Zarrow continued.

CBS New York showed the flooding in downtown Jamesburg, while cautioning about potential storm surge for parts of New York, specifically Long Island.
