Floodwaters receded in shore towns along the New Jersey coast on Friday as beachgoers were forced to work around the aftermath left behind by Hurricane Erin.

New Jersey is still under a state of emergency Friday evening, as Hurricane Erin angles farther away from the coast. Emergency management officials are worried about flooding once again, as the tide rises. Most of the state is under either a coastal flood advisory, or the more serious coastal flood warning.
