Nor'easter Hits Tri-State Area
Residents across the Tri-State area are preparing for damaging winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding from the nor'easter.
A state of emergency went into effect in New Jersey at 10 p.m., with Governor Phil Murphy declaring a state of emergency across all 21 counties.
- Volunteers in Seabright, Monmouth County, filled and placed sand bags along the shoreline to prepare for moderate to major coastal flooding.
- About 1,500 sand bags were distributed to the community.
So far we've given out about 1,500 (bags). It's nice to see the community come together. I've seen neighbors come out and get bags for their elderly neighbors, so just watching people look out for each other, it's a good thing to see - Autumn Nonnenmacher, volunteer
Officials are urging people to take necessary precautions ahead of the nor'easter's arrival.
