A ban on drilling in Bucks and Montgomery counties until 2018 has some Marcellus Shale region lawmakers steamed, claiming favoritism. Supporters of the ban claim the ban is only to allow time to more thoroughly study the formation and impact of potential drilling in these areas.
Many vacationers have left South Jersey, unable to cope with the loss of power from Friday's storms. And last night, a home in Mays Landing was badly damaged by a fire started by a candle. The owner... Read More |

Many won't get power back until July 6th.
Atlantic County's Office of Emergency Management opened cooling stations throughout the county.
