Jersey Central Power & Light crews are prepared for ongoing strong winds in Union Beach, Monmouth County.

JCP&L spokesperson Chris Hoenig says they have increased their staff and gathered all their equipment in preparation for whatever the weather has in store.

“We think we’ve seen the worst of it, thankfully. With the front having come through, we are looking at wind gusts 40 -45 mph straight through the evening hours. So, we could see some more outages and with flash freezing there are definitely risks out there,” he said.
