Hurricane Ian And Millburn: Links To Track Path, See Town's Message

MILLBURN, NJ — While Hurricane Ian isn't going to smash into New Jersey from sea like Superstorm Sandy did 10 years ago, a storm that weakens over land can still bring heavy wind and rain, as we saw with the fatal Tropical Depression Ida only one year ago.

Ian is expected to travel up western Florida and through western North Carolina.

A potential rainfall map from the National Hurricane Center for the next three days is touching the southern tip of New Jersey. The map will be updated later, and will likely show the rainfall potential throughout the whole state.

Here is the flash flood potential map.

What does that mean for Millburn, which has flooded for heavy rains?

The town said Wednesday:

"Millburn Township is currently monitoring Hurricane Ian’s trajectory and any potential impact this storm may have to our area. We would like to take this opportunity to remind residents that storm preparedness starts at home. Please continue to monitor your preferred weather stations and the Township will share further Hurricane Ian updates as it becomes available and necessary."
