The odds of being struck by lightning is less than one in a million in a given year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. But people have died from lightning strikes in New Jersey before. In June 2024, a Manchester man was killed in Seaside Park.

A young man passed away on Monday, nearly one week after he was struck by lightning while playing on a golf course in Hardyston, New Jersey.

New Jersey is under a state of emergency after a flash flood caused at least two deaths in Plainfield and damage across Union County.

Forecasters warned more rain and flash flood risk is expected on July 15 after storms flooded out roads the day before.

The U.S. Drought Monitor has released its latest update, revealing that massive rain storms this summer have effectively erased the drought

But the Cape May Bubble is a great example of how local geography can seriously influence the forecast. At the southern tip of New Jersey, Cape May isn't just famous for beaches and Victorian homes — it's also known for the mysterious Cape May Bubble. Locals swear storms split or vanish before hitting town, while nearby areas get drenched.
