Jersey City announces curfew

Mayor Healy has announced a curfew for most of Jersey City but especially aimed at those who might want to "enjoy" the storm from the riverwalk and or J. Owen Grundy Park beginning at 6pm.

From Huffington Post:
Healy said the city's waterfront district along the Hudson River and the southern portion of the city between the Hudson River and the Hackensack River will be subject to a curfew from 6 p.m. Monday evening to 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

Healy said at a Monday afternoon press briefing that a storm surge is expected to flood those areas, including the riverwalk along the Hudson, and a curfew is needed to discourage people who may want to watch the storm from the riverwalk.

He said that while he is confident that buildings will "not crumble, "what’s going to happen to us will be treacherous."

That is all.
