SOUTH JERSEY (KYW Newsradio) — Jersey Shore communities are preparing for a storm that is expected to arrive late Thursday and bring some minor tidal flooding along with strong winds.
Atlantic City's emergency management coordinator, Scott Evans, says one of their biggest concerns is Christmas decorations getting blown around.
"Please secure everything in your yard and on your roof. Ensure they don't become a flying projectile. The wind will be blowing really hard, so there is a good chance decorations will get damaged if they are not properly secured," Evans said.
He says it is even more dangerous if those items are plugged in.
Wind speed is expected to be sustained at 35 mph to 40 mph over several hours Thursday into Friday, along with rain heavy at times.
