The Nutter administration says a rate-setting commission would only... Read More |

Sandy is hitting the Bahamas as a Category 1 Hurricane with 90 m.p.h. winds. The majority of the hurricane models have Sandy making landfall along or close to the Jersey Shore as a Category 1 storm. The main threat to our area is torrential rain (6-8+ inches), flooding, hurricane force winds (at the shore), hurricane gusts inland, and power outages. If this storm hits the Jersey Shore straight on, it would be a first. Some residents would lose power for weeks, maybe a month.
