LIVE UPDATES: Tracking Ida
Gov. Phil Murphy toured Mullica Hill on Thursday morning with other elected officials to assess the damage there. About 10 homes were destroyed and more were damaged when the twister tore through the town.
“The road will not be short, and it won’t be easy, particularly, in the near term. And they’re all – and who can blame them – in a state of shock. But they’re going to get there. They’re going to rebuild, they’re going to get back on their feet and get their lives back to some semblance of normalcy,” Murphy said. “But it’s devastating and it’s incredibly random.”
The governor has spoken to President Joe Biden and expects a disaster declaration for Gloucester County.
Murphy says the victims will have the full resources of the state and federal government to help get them back on their feet.
