Floodwaters surged through the glass doors of a student home in Glassboro, New Jersey, on Aug. 27, inundating the lower level. The incident occurred as students were preparing to move into housing for the upcoming school year.
Video footage shows several feet of water accumulating outside the residence before one of the French doors abruptly gave way, allowing the water to rush inside. Towels had been placed at the base of the doors in an attempt to prevent water from entering.
According to a GoFundMe post cited by Fox News, the storms caused extensive damage to four bedrooms on the lower level of the home. Photos shared showed furniture, beds, and rugs submerged in the floodwater.
On the same day, Rowan University issued a warning to students about severe flash flooding conditions throughout the region, noting that water had also infiltrated several campus buildings. The university advised students to exercise caution.
The National Weather Service reported that the southwestern New Jersey area received between 4 and 6 inches of rain during the storms.
