SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ -- Seaside Heights remains under water, officials say.

A 50-foot piece of boardwalk was ripped up and floated from the ocean all the way to the bay, Governor Christie said.

In nearby Lavalette, houses have moved off of their foundation and are on route 35. The entire area, he said, "is completely under water."

In Seaside Heights, "the roller coaster or the log flume is in the ocean," Christie said.

"The level of devastation at the Jersey Shore is unthinkable," he said.

Rides and chunks of one of the town's piers are in the water, Christie said.

"The whole north side of" Seaside Heights, New Jersey, "is totally under water," rising halfway up most front doors, Police Chief Thomas Boyd told reporters Monday.

Roads leading to the borough, including Route 37, are blocked off.

Christie said emergency crews are now searching the area to help rescue and recover people from the flooding.
