Acting Governor Tahesha Way today declared that New Jersey will enter a State of Emergency at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 11, 2025 in preparation for a dangerous nor’easter storm expected to hit the state on Sunday, October 12 and continue into Monday, October 13. Parts of the state are forecasted to experience moderate to major coastal flooding, instances of inland flash flooding, sustained winds of up to 60 mph, localized precipitation of up to five inches, and very high surf potentially causing significant beach erosion and dune breaching. Executive Order No. 399 declares a State of Emergency across all 21 counties in New Jersey.
“Starting on Sunday, a dangerous coastal storm will begin to move past our state with extreme weather conditions for several counties, especially those on the Shore,” said Acting Governor Way. “In preparation for this storm, I am issuing a State of Emergency for all 21 counties out of an abundance of caution, authorizing our state’s emergency services personnel to activate as necessary. I urge all New Jerseyans to exercise caution, monitor local weather forecasts and warnings, stay informed on evacuation protocols, and remain off the roads unless absolutely necessary.”
@tls Is there anyway to send out a memo of securing sukkahs so they are not flying away or getting damaged ETC.
Any ideas how to do that?
Some Kosher methods for securing S’chach mats-
*Zip tie mat to beam loosely
*Beam on top of Schach and beam below Schach zip-tied together (Schach sandwiched between the beams)
*Tie it down with twine (gidulei karka)
A few years ago, I can’t remember it’s infamous name, I filed a comprehensive claim with Geico for being T-boned by my own Sukkah!
The adjuster came and was genuinely incredulous as he had never seen such a situation. Nevertheless, they paid the claim! 😃
Did ur insurance premium go up after that?
1- how do you “secure” the “loose” schach?
2- it talks about beach dune issues, we are not near any beach.
3- 5 in. of rain, is that a problem for sukkahs?
4- it says to keep loose items away from the home, so where should the sukkah be?
bottom line, practically speaking, for us, what to do?
Acting governor?
Where’s Murphy?
I guess Murphy is just not acting 🙂
