Jennifer Aydin‘s doing fine after suffering through a scary ordeal … telling fans she was at a New Jersey boardwalk that turned chaotic — and sharing a clip of the dramatic scene.
The ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star took to Instagram Sunday to share a clip from her chaotic Saturday evening … telling her more than half a million followers she and her family went to the boardwalk at Seaside Heights, on the Jersey Shore.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Check out the clip … it’s taken from a safe distance, but people are running everywhere, yelling and sirens are blaring as the chaotic scene unfolds with people hopping over wooden fences to evacuate the area.
In the caption, JA writes the fam still doesn’t know what happened — but, everyone from her family’s safe at the very least
Local news outlets say false reports of gunfire set off the mad scramble … and, cops say the whole incident actually just came from kids causing a disturbance.
Jennifer joined “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” back in 2018 — and she’s appeared in every season of the program since.
Jennifer updated her followers via her Instagram story after posting the original clip … letting people know she and the family decided to stay in for the evening.
Probably a wise call after ending up in a scary situation.

It’s back to school time in New Jersey, and that means students will soon be reuniting with friends they haven’t seen all summer. But in some of New Jersey’s largest high schools, there might be more strangers than friends.
The average enrollment for high schools in the Garden State is just over 1,000 students, according to an NJ Advance Media analysis of data from the 2022-23 school year, the most recently available data. (See how large your high school is in the chart below.)
The state’s largest high school, Passaic County Technical Institute in Wayne, had 3,302 students in 2022-23. That top spot could be challenged in future rankings with the opening this year of the $283.8 million Perth Amboy High School, with a projected enrollment of 3,300 students.

Another New Jersey offshore wind project runs into turbulence

Nearly a year ago, Danish wind energy giant Orsted scrapped two offshore wind farms planned off New Jersey’s coast, saying they were no longer financially feasible to build.
Atlantic Shores, another project with preliminary approval in New Jersey, is seeking to rebid the financial terms of its project.
And opponents of offshore wind have seized on the disintegration of a wind turbine blade off Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts in July that sent crumbled pieces of it washing ashore on the popular island vacation destination.
Leading Light was one of two projects chosen in January by the state utilities board. But just three weeks after that approval, one of three major turbine manufacturers, GE Vernova, said it would not announce the kind of turbine Invenergy planned to use in the Leading Light Project, according to the filing with the utilities board.
A turbine made by manufacturer Vestas was deemed unsuitable for the project, and the lone remaining manufacturer, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, told Invenergy in June “that it was substantially increasing the cost of its turbine offering.”
“As a result of these actions, Invenergy is currently without a viable turbine supplier,” it wrote in its filing.
The project, from Chicago-based Invenergy and New York-based energyRE, would be built 40 miles (65 kilometers) off Long Beach Island and would consist of up to 100 turbines, enough to power 1 million homes.
New Jersey has become the epicenter of resident and political opposition to offshore wind, with numerous community groups and elected officials — most of them Republicans — saying the industry is harmful to the environment and inherently unprofitable.
Supporters, many of them Democrats, say that offshore wind is crucial to move the planet away from the burning of fossil fuels and the changing climate that results from it.
New Jersey has set ambitious goals to become the East Coast hub of the offshore wind industry. It built a manufacturing facility for wind turbine components in the southern part of the state to help achieve that aim.

New Jersey offers tax incentives to get a new Sixers arena in Camden

From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South Jersey and Delaware, what would you like WHYY News to cover? Let us know!
New Jersey is making a push to lure the Philadelphia 76ers to Camden with millions of dollars in tax credits as team owners pursue constructing their own arena.
First reported by ROI-NJ, a letter sent to Sixers ownership from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and signed by Gov. Phil Murphy said they are “committed to bringing the 76ers to Camden.”
“We envision a multi-billion dollar privately-led comprehensive mixed-use development north of the Ben Franklin Bridge that would serve as a transformative catalyst for Camden and New Jersey,” the letter released Monday said. “Anchored by a world-class arena, we believe that this project will enable development of significant residential, commercial, and retail offerings within the City of Camden. We also recognize the importance of incorporating open space and pedestrian-friendly amenities into this potential game-changing development project for our state.”
The pitch promises $400 million in tax credits to build the arena and “transform” nearby residential and retail at the site of the former Riverfront State Prison, just north of the Ben Franklin Bridge and Rutgers University–Camden.
New Jersey’s effort comes just days after Philadelphia city officials released four independent reports that found a new arena in Center City would likely hurt small businesses in neighboring Chinatown and cause traffic congestion in the area.
