From Hoboken City Hall as a cautionary message to Hobokenites:

TORNADO WATCH AND WIND PRECAUTIONS

The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for Hudson County until 6pm, September 28th. Additionally, showers and thunderstorms could produce locally strong wind gusts and heavy rain this afternoon and early this evening.

Wind Precautions
High winds are possible in Hoboken this Tuesday, September 28th. Be sure your property (including construction sites) is secure.

Bring in unsecured objects from patios and balconies and secure outdoor objects such as lawn furniture or garbage cans that could blow away and cause damage or injury.

The safest place to be during high winds is indoors. If at all possible postpone outdoor activities.

Watch for flying debris. Tree limbs may break and street signs may become loose during strong wind gusts. Keep an eye toward nearby balconies for loose objects that may fall.

Report downed lines to 201-420-2007 (Hoboken Fire Department) or 911 for assistance. Do not try to free lines or to remove debris yourself.

Avoid anything that may be touching downed lines, including vehicles or tree branches. Warn others to stay away.
