Home Depot out of certain batteries; stocked with water and sand.
As a resident of Little Egg Harbor, Jen Rogers has seen her fair share of bad storms.

She noted that some neighborhoods have postponed trick-or-treating activities until next weekend, which may have prompted some people to heed warnings about staying off the roads during the State of Emergency. …
