Floods trapped two teens inside an infamous abandoned train tunnel for hours during a severe rainstorm in New Jersey over the weekend.

Officials were notified that the teens were stuck in the tunnel in Edgewater at about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, NBC New York reported. The duo had been exploring the tunnel when the water started pouring in.

"They said they were in the tunnel for about two hours. They'd seen something on the internet where they wanted to explore the tunnel," Lt. Robert Jacobsen of the local fire department told the outlet.

The Edgewater-Fairview Train tunnel is considered one of the "weird" attractions in the state, WABC-TV reported. It closed in the 1960s and has ever since been connected to all kinds of local urban legends.

As it filled with water on Sunday, firefighters had to use a boat to rescue the teens, according to the local news station.

Officials said the boys entered the location during a major rainstorm that caused widespread flooding in New Jersey and New York and that, when they arrived, there was already three feet of water in the tunnel, according to WABC-TV, a local news station.

The teens were transported to a local hospital and reportedly did not suffer from any injuries due to the incident.

"Just think before you do things, especially with the weather outside," Jacobsen said, per NBC New York.

In March, a California woman was stranded on top of her submerged car during a massive flood for over an hour before she was rescued by law enforcement.
