📰 News we're reading

• New Jersey nor'easter brings heavy rain, power outages (nj1015.com) — Stafford Township saw flooding during this weekend's nor'easter, as bay and coastal waters rose and heavy rain swamped parts of Ocean County. Across New Jersey, the storm dumped several inches of rain, knocked out power to tens of thousands, and briefly suspended NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast Line service while crews worked around the clock on repairs.
