Gov. Sherrill gives update on storm response <\/p>\n

Sept. 27, 10 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said Sunday morning that severe dune loss has been reported in Brigantine and Atlantic City as the powerful nor’easter continues to impact New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Sherrill said Surf City recorded winds of 74 mph, while some coastal communities received 3 inches of rain with more expected.<\/p>\n

Another high tide Sunday night could bring additional flooding, Sherrill said. She also pointed to the high tide around 9 a.m. Monday as a concern for additional coastal flooding.<\/p>\n

“I want to repeat: do not drive in closed or flooded roadways,” Sherrill said.<\/p>\n

Sherrill said nearly 180,000 customers had their power restored as of Sunday morning. She said the state Board of Public Utilities prepositioned utility crews ahead of the storm, with JCP&L and PSE&G having more than 3,000 employees working on restoration efforts.<\/p>\n

Sherrill said the state Department of Environmental Protection will conduct a survey and damage assessment of New Jersey beaches when conditions are safe.<\/p>\n

Boaters and marina operators were advised to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center for information about marine closures.<\/p>\n

Residents experiencing power outages should report them directly to their utility company rather than assuming the company is already aware of the outage, Sherrill said.<\/p>\n

A state of emergency remains in effect for Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Salem counties. <\/p>\n
