  "account": "Videos from Surf City, New Jersey, revealed a chaotic scene as a powerful nor'easter inundated the town with storm surge. Roads were transformed into rivers, leaving vehicles stranded and homes at risk. Residents shared harrowing footage of water covering streets and rushing into buildings. The flooding continued to worsen as the National Weather Service warned of life-threatening coastal flooding along the Mid-Atlantic and New England coastlines. X users reported that 2 to 4 feet of water had inundated roadways, while others described the situation as an \"absolute mess.\" The flooding was exacerbated by the full moon, which could cause even higher tidal surges. Residents expressed concern over the rapidly rising floodwaters and the potential for further damage. The nor'easter was part of a larger storm system impacting the US East Coast, with heavy rain, damaging winds, and dangerous surf expected along the affected regions.",
