The rain began falling Friday night, but the high winds and torrential downpours from a powerful Nor'easter didn't begin until Saturday.
New Jerseyans began tweeting about stalled traffic along the Turnpike, closed roads in their neighborhoods and when the storm knocked out power, they ubertweeted from their Blackberry's about wind gusts so strong, SUVs were blown off the road.
As of Saturday night, approximately 160,000 customers across the state were without power. Strong winds uprooted trees and tore off rooftops.
The National Weather Service reported 4 inches of rain fell across the state and that New Jersey could get as much as another 1 to 2 inches through Sunday morning.
