BREAKING:Flash Flood Emergency-Dangerous Flooding Underway

Heavy rain has created dangerous flooding in many areas. Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel and never drive through flooded roads. It only takes a small amount of moving water to sweep a vehicle away, and it is often impossible to tell how deep the water is. If you are at home, stay informed by monitoring local weather alerts and emergency notifications. Move to higher ground if flooding threatens your area, and avoid walking through floodwaters, which may contain debris, sewage, or hidden hazards. Keep flashlights, charged phones, medications, drinking water, and other emergency supplies readily available in case of power outages. If you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around and find another route. Stay away from fast-moving streams, storm drains, and downed power lines, and report emergencies to local authorities. Your safety is the top priority—do not take unnecessary risks until conditions improve. Video below is deal New Jersey

BREAKING: MASSIVE STORMS LEAVE THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER AS EXTREME STORMS HIT LAKEWOOD

As Shabbos began, powerful storms swept through the Lakewood area, knocking out electricity to thousands of residents. Many neighborhoods, including Raintree, were plunged into darkness, with some families remaining without power for nearly 24 hours. With temperatures hovering around 100 degrees, the outages created extremely difficult conditions. Many homes were left without air conditioning, and countless families lost refrigerated and frozen food as the blackout continued. After Shabbos ended, even more power outages were reported, leaving additional residents in the dark. While electricity has been restored to many customers, others are still waiting for their power to return. Another round of storms is now moving through Lakewood and is expected to head toward Brooklyn, raising concerns that additional outages could occur. JCP&L crews have been working around the clock to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
