By: Richard L. Smith\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emergency responders are on the scene after reports of a roof collapse at a BJ\u2019s Wholesale Club in Ocean Township late Monday morning, as torrential rain and widespread flooding continue to impact communities across New Jersey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The incident was reported at approximately 11 a.m. at the BJ\u2019s located along Route 35.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Preliminary reports indicate that at least two dozen people safely evacuated the store without injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities have not yet reported any confirmed injuries, and the extent of the structural damage remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reported collapse comes as Monmouth County continues to experience significant flooding caused by persistent heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials with the Monmouth County Sheriff\u2019s Office are urging residents to avoid the area, warning that travel conditions remain extremely hazardous due to flooded roadways and ongoing emergency operations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a developing story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additional information will be released as authorities provide updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ocean Township By: Richard L.
