State of Emergency-79q2 |

A State of Emergency does not mean stay off the roads. It allows the government to apply for funds, activate national guard, etc. A travel ban however means stay off the road. That being said, do not drive around cones and or walk/drive through flood waters! |

So many lives were ruined last night in our area and Cranbury dodged the worst and you are birching and complaining. You are really the lowest off the low. Fitting for this board. |

The Mayor and Chief have failed miserably to keep folks informed. This Mayor and administrator have been a huge disappointment regarding notices for road closings and general EMERGENCY information that the public should be aware of during times of emergency.
It seems that unless there is a photo op then they could care less about the resident taxpayers. Other municipalities keep postings updated and we never received even one posting. The Office and Administrators of EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT should get a big F for failure! |

As stated above. If you were a doctor or other shift worker you cannot just say sorry I am going to be home at 5pm. Clearly our PD thought it necessary today to make statements about road closures, so they disagree with your not feeling it is necessary. The trouble is it should have been done last night too. |

On a site full of crazy dumb posts, this one has to take the cake. Absolutely the most out of touch thing I have read this week.
There is absolutely no TV, radio or internet source accurately reporting road closures and the few even pretending to are relying on the reports from local PD and municipalities. So if the local authorities don't report it , no one else will.
It must be nice to live in your basement with no responsibilities posting wrong information, but most of the rest of the world has obligations. Talk to the all the employers who did not close despite the storm and flooding if you want people staying home. Princeton University decided it would be a great idea to proceed with the first day of class despite almost every road in being flooded. And if a school with $26 billion in the bank earning interest won't accommodate the flooding, do you really think most other employers will? But then you didn't really think, did you. | I believe it’s been stated that we were in a state of emergency last night so you have no business being on the road. As far as a site with “crazy dumb posts” yours takes the cake for the dumbest. |

Many jobs have night shifts where you can’t just leave and be home by 5. You seem to complain too. Or do you just not like the Mayor being accountable. |

A forecast for Cranbury would have told you when the heavy rain arrives. As far as I know it didn't start to rain until after 5pm today. Maybe consider being home in time when the remnants of a major hurricane are expected to hit the region? Take some responsibility for a change instead of complaining on a useless board all the time. |

This is ridiculous. Multiple reach outs from other towns. Nothing from the Mayor or Chief. Yet we get notices about EDAC, library and other things that are nice, but not critical. Is this an election year if I ignore it people forget at the polls strategy? |

I guess Cranbury somehow dodged a bullet with the flooding this time around? That's surprising but terrific if so. I've received dozens of alerts of flooding and tornado watches from all the neighboring townships but absolutely nothing from Cranbury or the Cranbury PD since their one email at 10am before the storm saying they were monitoring it.
No news is presumably good news? It's amazing with so many of the area roads flooded that absolutely none of ours did. |
