Isaias traffic, power, closings: Emergency info in this intense storm

New Jersey is being hit Tuesday by a storm that could cause several feet of flooding in some areas, and wind gusts in excess of 7 p.m. The storm, Isaias, had been upgraded to hurricane status Monday night as it climbed the East Coast, but by Tuesday morning was once again considered a tropical storm.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and BPU President Joseph L. Fiordaliso warned Tuesday the state could see hundreds of thousands of power outages, possibly for extended times.

As of Tuesday morning, a Tornado Watch covered all 21 counties of New Jersey, until noon in the southern end of the state, and 4 p.m. in most of the rest. Tornado watches, suggesting a more imminent threat, were briefly issued in some regions.

The Associated Press reported by mid-morning that tornadoes had been confirmed in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware and New Jersey.
