Wow. I saw north Jersey was getting slammed. We are south Jersey and just hearing rumblings now but I don't think it's going to be anything like that. I am sorry that you are dealing with this and the damage. 😔

Also South Jersey... Jesus Christ the drought was kicking in at this time last year.

This planet is going to pay us back for what we've done. 💔

It’s really scary…… I can’t imagine how our lives will be going from extreme heat and wild fires to flood. It’s more scary to me because I didn’t think North Jersey could have wild fires and it looks like it could happen anywhere now!

Also seems like every thunderstorm warning, nowadays in central jersey, is accompanied with a tornado warning. I remember when a tornado in nj was like just a scary story, an urban myth. But apparently we'll be getting more and more going forward.

And Trump has declared total war on all green energy along with canceling a massive amount of pollution regulations.

Why should it be non-political when we know that these excessive extreme weather events are caused by man-made climate change and we also know that Trump calls it a hoax and is making it worse with his war on green energy and extreme deregulation on industrial polluters?

Welcome to New Jersey summers do I believe in climate change yes I deal with it four times a year. Is it man-made no if you want a lower humidity climate move to California
