Joaquin update: No matter where it lands its not Sandy

Joaquin Update: Updated evening track has shifted the landfall spot south of previous guidance with a target somewhere between North Carolina and just south of New Jersey. Winds are expected to peak near 120mph when it becomes a major category 3 hurricane in the next 48 hours. As we have said repeatedly, this will not be a Sandy like storm for the NY metro area. Regardless of where it makes landfall, rain will fall for everyone along the east coast but it will be off and on and there will be some breaks on the weekend

Hurricane Joaquin may hit NJ

Shore towns are bracing for heavy rains and flooding that forecasters say might hit New Jersey in the next week, as Hurricane Joaquin continues to strengthen in the western Atlantic.

Joaquin might cause major coastal flooding, said Jon K. Miller, a coastal engineering professor at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken.

Stevens flood models show greater than moderate coastal flooding “pretty much up and down the coast, which is pretty significant,” he said.

A Management agency for one of Lakewood's largest developments has started to send out eviction notices as early as after a week of non payment for the rent. No warnings, no rachmanus, no grace period, no courtesy, even for tenants who have a clean record and always pay on time. These practices are not new, but its obnoxious that fun unzere would hire outside agencies who treat the tzibbur with no respect.

Traveling to and from CHOP will be difficult

Given the large number of people expected to be in the Philadelphia area, we know you may have questions about how the event will impact your child’s care at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

CHOP would like to assure all patients and families that we will continue to provide the best care to patients. That said, some clinics and services will have varied schedules or alternate locations. This will help us meet our patients’ needs without impacting the quality of care.

We anticipate the greatest travel impact to begin the evening of Thursday 9/24 through Monday morning 9/28.
