Live N.J. power outage tracker: Strong thunderstorms, fierce winds cut power to thousands of homes
Strong thunderstorms that have pelted parts of New Jersey with heavy rain and strong winds have knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses across the state, with forecasters calling for a threat of additional thunderstorms popping up through late Sunday night.
NJ.com’s Power Outage Tracker, which monitors outage numbers from utility companies in the region, showed about 12,000 homes and businesses in New Jersey without power as of 6 p.m. Sunday.
Forecasters from the National Weather Service had predicted a cold front would move across New Jersey on Sunday, interacting with hot and humid air, which could trigger intense thunderstorms with damaging winds as strong as 60 mph.
Eighteen of the state’s 21 counties are under a severe thunderstorm watch until 7 p.m. Sunday, and three counties — Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland — are under a severe thunderstorm watch through 11 p.m. Sunday. Several thunderstorm warnings and flash flood warnings have also been posted.
Forecasters say they can’t rule out the possibility of an isolated tornado forming during the intense thunderstorms because of the high humidity and wind shear in the atmosphere.
On Wednesday night, New Jersey was rocked by strong thunderstorms that toppled trees and snapped power lines in numerous towns and cities, knocking out power to more than 100,000 homes and businesses across the state.
Those storms turned out to be deadly, with a large tree falling on a 30-year-old man in East Orange, killing him, according to local police.

After poor debate performance, Biden appeals to donors at N.J. Gov. Murphy's home
In the aftermath of that debate, Biden flashed more vigor in speeches in North Carolina and New York on Friday, saying he believes with “all my heart and soul” that he can do the job of the presidency.
The Biden campaign said it has raised more than $27 million on Thursday and Friday, including $3 million at a New York City fundraiser focused on the LGBTQ+ community.
Jill Biden told supporters Friday that he said to her after the debate, “You know, Jill, I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel that great.” The first lady then said she responded to him, “Look, Joe, we are not going to let 90 minutes define the four years that you’ve been president.”
The Democratic president still needs to allay the fears stirred by the debate as it seeped into the public conscience with clips and memes spreading on the internet and public pressure for him to bow out of the race.
Democratic donors across New York, Southern California and Silicon Valley privately expressed deep concerns about the viability of Biden’s campaign in the wake of his debate performance.
In a series of text message chains and private conversations, they discussed the short list of possible replacements, a group that included Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris.
But on Friday, there was no formal push to pressure Biden to step aside and some suspected there never would be given the logistical challenges associated with replacing the presumptive nominee just four months before Election Day.
Some donors noted they were going to pause their personal giving. They said receipts from Biden’s weekend fundraiser would almost certainly be strong because the tickets were sold and paid for before the debate.
