Bridgewater Police urges residents to use caution.
Just a little more than a week after Hurricane Sandy battered Bridgewater, another storm has descended with a nor'easter expected to hit Wednesday evening, bringing rain, wind and possibly snow. "Yet another storm, just what we don't need," said Bridgewater Township Police Chief Richard Borden. And as the precipitation continues to fall in Bridgewater, Borden said it is the tension caused by wind on already fragile trees and wires that has the police most concerned.

Power has been restored to millions of customers since Hurricane Sandy caused damage across the state, but a new storm could undo many repairs.
A Nor'easter headed toward New Jersey could slow the cleanup from Hurricane Sandy and even cause more power outages, Governor Chris Christie said Tuesday. Forecasters have predicted the storm will hit New Jersey Wednesday and could bring gusts of 50 or 60 miles per hour. Crews cleaning up from Hurricane Sandy and restoring power are not allowed up in their bucket trucks if winds hit 40 miles per hour or more. "If you've gotten power, some of you may lose power again," Christie said. More than 11,000 crews have been working to restore power in New Jersey since Hurricane Sandy caused outages for about 2.76 million customers across the state. As of Tuesday morning, Atlantic City Electric had about 100 percent of their customers back on, …

A Nor'easter could sock Sandy-battered New Jersey in the middle of next week, the National Weather Service is predicting. "This storm has the potential to bring strong, gusty winds ... rain/wintry precipitation .. and coastal flooding to the tri-state area," the NWS said. The possible storm, coupled with temperatures in the 30s the next few nights, underscores the urgency to restore power to weary residents. The NWS, however, says the storm is not a sure bet, despite the service issuing a hazardous weather outlook. "There is still uncertainty to the exact track this storm will take," it reported.
