A slate of City Council candidates in the Nov. 2 election — Cheryl Fallick, Sheila Brennan and Paul Presinzano of Independently Together — said, “We are heartbroken to see the impact that storms like Ida have on our Hoboken neighbors and small businesses and thankful for the efforts of Hoboken’s emergency response teams ... One reason we are running to represent Hoboken on the City Council is to not only support the critical, system-wide, anti-flooding and resiliency efforts begun by Mayor Zimmer in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, but to also push the current administration and the North Hudson Sewerage Authority to better coordinate directly with all Hoboken property owners.”

Meanwhile, forecasters were keeping an eye on the powerful Hurricane Larry in the Atlantic (track it here).
