If you plan on staying in Hoboken tonight into tomorrow and park your car in a flood area of town be sure to move it to the parking garage tonight or else you may find your car in Jersey City flowing with current. Read below for more parking information.
WIND ADVISORY AND FREE GARAGE PARKING FOR FLOOD-PRONE AREAS
The National Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for our area. Although the center of Hurricane Earl is currently expected to pass east of the area, impacts such as strong winds and flooding are still possible.
In anticipation of the potential for flooding, the City of Hoboken is providing free parking in Municipal Garage B (located on 2nd Street between Hudson and River streets) from Thursday, September 2nd at 8:00 pm through Saturday, September 4th at 11:00 am for residents in flood prone areas with a valid residency parking permit.
Wind Precautions
High winds are possible in Hoboken this Friday, September 3rd. 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.

How often does the old dine and dash trick get played out here in Hoboken we wonder?
The decision to lay off employees was the most difficult decision I have ever made since entering public office, and the personal accounts I heard at last night’s Council meeting reinforced this.
