TRENTON, N.J. ? A seventh straight day of rain across much of the soggy Northeast trapped motorists, delayed airline flights and sent streams surging over their banks Thursday.

Flood warnings covered parts of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, and residents in some New Jersey communities were urged to evacuate their homes.

Northern New Jersey received as much as 6 inches of rain in two days, and forecasters said some areas of the state could get more rain through Saturday. A deluge over the weekend dumped about 5 inches across the state and as much as 10 in a few spots.

Across the Northeast, at least 10 people have died since last weekend because of the downpours, and four others were missing in New Hampshire.

The National Guard handed out thousands of sandbags in New Jersey’s Essex and Passaic counties. Inmates from the Passaic County Jail were pressed into duty at a public works garage filling the bags with road sand normally used during snowstorms.

Debbie Baglione was moving most of her possessions from the first floor of her home upstairs.

“The river is a foot away from my patio,” said Baglione, of Fairfield. “I have a crawl space that’s full of water.”

Water also lapped at the foundations of some Bergen County homes, and officials there expected rivers to swell even more.

“We’re just bracing for the next storm,” said county executive Dennis McNerney. “But we’re not building an ark just yet.”
