After the storm in Mercer County

Where were you when the storm hit on Sunday evening? That's been the question for the past day and a half. Really the question should be did you lose any trees?

The picture to the right, courtesy of nj.com, shows more than I could ever explain about the ferocity of the storm that passed through Mercer County. It flooded roads and damaged trees and power lines leaving some people without power until today. The damage even prompted Hamilton Mayor John Bencivengo to declare a limited state of emergency in some parts of Hamilton Township.

But as bad as the storm was it is good to know that our emergency systems are in place and our first responders were on the spot and able to perform their duties for the community. My thanks go to them and my encouragement goes to anyone impacted by the storm. We're lucky to live in a caring, capable community. I hope this message finds your family and your New Jersey home safe and well.
