GTPD Wants Residents to Be Ready for Irene
With it more and more likely Hurricane Irene will bring at least some bad weather our way Sunday, GTPD has put out information to keep you safe.
The Gloucester Township Police Department (GTPD) has released helpful information on how residents can prepare for and stay safe during and after a hurricane as Hurricane Irene moves toward New Jersey.
As of Thursday afternoon, most forecasts indicated Hurricane Irene will be a Category 2 storm, with winds up to 100 mph, by the time it reaches the Garden State early Sunday morning.
