Voluntary Coastal Storm Evacuations Extending to Brigantine

The beach town of Brigantine, New Jersey is joining Cape May County in recommending resident evacuations ahead of Hurricane Sandy.

The storm is rapidly approaching the New Jersey coastline.  As the Hurricane joins with a projected winter storm front, there could be severe gale force winds, widespread flooding, and a possible $1-billion dollars in damage along the eastern seaboard.
