Weather conditions have deteriorated rapidly and the heavy winds associated with Hurricane Sandy have affected the township. Numerous trees and live wires have fallen onto the roadways. As stated earlier, please remain home and avoid any travel or going outside if possible. The high winds have made being outside very dangerous. Wide spread power outages are now being reported throughout the township. Several traffic lights are out especially along Route 18.
