Gov. Sherrill gives update on storm response

Sept. 27, 10 a.m.

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.

Sherrill said Surf City recorded winds of 74 mph, while some coastal communities received 3 inches of rain with more expected.

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.

"I want to repeat: do not drive in closed or flooded roadways," Sherrill said.

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.

Sherrill said the state Department of Environmental Protection will conduct a survey and damage assessment of New Jersey beaches when conditions are safe.

Boaters and marina operators were advised to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center for information about marine closures.

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.

A state of emergency remains in effect for Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Salem counties.
