Cranbury DPW workers have been awesome. They have been working the asses off since before the storm. If you see one, go thank them and let them know they are doing great work. If they didn't do the work, would you?

I couldn't agree more. These folks are truly a blessing to our community.

I actually heard one resident as Main St was flooding and PW was out tapping off the road that they and the town did not do enough to stop the flood. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, yea PWs has the power to stop a hurricane.

I want to commend the PWs department, Police, fire, First Aid, CERT and all others who were there before, during and after to protect our town. We had a hurricane and it's bad there was damage. However, these people made the damage so much easier to deal with and less then it could have been. They all deserve a big congratulations and thanks.

Floods happen when you buy your home next to the water.

We don't have an alarm and since it is so infrequent to have a warning people would have no idea what the sound is if it even carried to them. However, I do understand the town is looking at the ability to do reverse 911 calls to alert people.


Thanks for the info. I appreciate the extra hard work of the township employees and volunteers during the storm.I just think it would be a good idea to look into a disaster alert above and beyond the fire alarm. At 11:15 on Saturday night, while most of Cranbury was sleeping, we had a tornado warning. That is a pretty scary and serious event that we don't seem to be prepared for.


This is the stupidest idea I ever heard. We should let people sleep through the night even if there is a tornado warning and we have a fire horn that could wake everyone up. Serves them right for sleeping in the first place. They should have stayed up all night listening to the radio, just in case!

This is an example of how powerful flood waters can be. Watch it take trees and suck them under the road... just before it collapses. Please pay attention to barricades and stay out of the flood waters!

Water is incompressible and anything on the path will be pushed away.

If you wanna avoid hurricanes, you may have to move to Kansas.

Please remember, flood waters are dangerous. Do not enter them. The water could be deeper and more powerful than you think. Just check out the videos! Not only do they pose a threat to you, but to our first responders who may have to go in and get you out!

Thanks,
Michael

This is an old thread, but with the upcoming threat of a tropical storm/hurricane possibly impacting our region it is still very relevant. The links and posts are still very informative. Remember to "turn around, don't drown"

Thanks,
Michael
