Public Service Electric and Gas said about 300 customers were without power across its service area. There were no reported outages in Teaneck early Monday.
The utility asked residents not to touch downed wires and report outages to 1-800-436-PSEG.

We remind drivers not to drive through ponded or standing water.”
The weekend rain storm was the first significant rain the area has seen in months.
