Sunday, October 12, 2025 12:54PMSunday's nor'easterAhead of the nor'easter's arrival, a state of emergency went into effect in New Jersey as of 10 p.m. on Saturday. During the day, volunteers made their way to a beach in Seabright, Monmouth County to fill up sand bags and place them along the shoreline, as moderate to major coast flooding is expected.
"So far we've given out about 1,500 . 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," said Autumn Nonnenmacher, a volunteer.It's not just the rain officials are concerned about, it's also the wind, beach erosion, flooding and potential power outages. PSE&G crews are performing system and logistics checks ahead of the storm. All New Jersey Transit services in the meantime will continue operating on regular schedules for as long as the weather and road conditions are safe. In New York, officials are also warning Long Island and New York City residents about similar possible conditions. "If you don't have to go out, please stay home. Don't drive through flooded streets, check on family members and your neighbors -- we're all in this together," said Nassau County Bruce Blakeman. Meanwhile, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and city officials say state workers will be out in full force to respond to any damage. "Areas that are served by overhead power lines, be prepared for potential outages. Our utility partners are bringing out additional crews to make sure they can immediately respond to that," NYC Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol said. "But also make sure that you have a flashlight ready with extra batteries, make sure your phone is charged." High winds are expected to get worst between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, and so officials are urging residents to bring inside any outdoor ornaments, including lawn furniture and Halloween decorations, during the nor'easter.
