While power has been restored, damage control and cleanup efforts are just beginning.  While life is returning to normal for most, many schools and businesses remain closed in the state.

Damage in Bergen County, New Jersey is estimated at $45.5 million alone, with some 5,000 homes reportedly damaged.Nearby Morris County has counted some 1,300 damaged buildings that were flooded due to their proximity from the overflowing Passaic, Ramapo and Pompton rivers.

The region has seen a heavy downpour of rain while it was still dealing with a wetter than normal snowmelt, which prompted New Jersey governor Chris Christie to declare a state of emergency on Sunday.
