In case you were not yet aware, tropical system Hannah may be heading in this direction late Friday night into Saturday. Right now the current tracking indicates the storm will graze the Delmarva coast and could possibly still be tropical storm strength at that time. The impact of such a storm would likely extend across the entire state of New Jersey with heavy flooding rains, gusty winds bringing down wires and tree limbs, rip currents and coastal flooding. If you are not already doing so, it may be a good idea to watch the local weather outlets closely and take other preparations, especially if you live along the coast line.

We get everything here at the Jersey Shore; everything from soup to nuts, mostly nuts. Now go listen to the Grateful Dead, A Touch of Gray. "We will get by, we will survive." I love storms especially on weekends, they're bennie repellent.

The News 12 New Jersey weather gurus are saying it's supposed to be a coastal event. Some rain beginning Friday night; strongest winds late Saturday afternoon, 60 - 70 MPH, more than likely downed trees and wires, which means power outages, and torrential flooding rain. Thank God for hand held scanners. Charge up those batteries.

Union County Old Frequencies Used During Ts Hannah
Since parts of Union County were dealiing with a considerable amount of flooding on Saturday evening due to the Tropical Storm Hannah, I decided to try monitoring some of Union County's older frequencies that haven't been used in a long time. Well, just an update: Union County actually used the following frequencies in addition to their TRUNKED system and these did NOT simulcast into their EDACS system either: 460.100, 460.450, and 453.050 were all being used Saturday evening and were very active! I mostly heard Rahway PD using those frequencies to communicate with each other and the county regarding some major accident that occured on St. George's Avenue in their town. It was very nice to hear them back on their old frequencies again, even if it was just for a short while. The Union County EDACS system seemed to be mostly used by the County PD at Nomahagen Park in Cranford closing the huge festival they were supposed to have and directing traffic outside of the park. So, don't count out those old Union County frequencies yet (even though radio reference database fails to list most of them under Union County anymore).

although we were extremely lucky in n.j. during hanna,don't become complacent.it's not a question of if,it's a question of when.there a are people who,like my wife say afterwards "big storm whoo !!!!!".
then the next time they hear a storm is coming they don't prepare.we went grocery shopping.we had ice and a cooler.i had a stock of 300 aa batteries.these were backed up by about 30 rechargeable batteries.
i charged every one of them.i got backup batteries for my ht and fire pager's.although we spent some extra money in the long run i felt it was worth it.
