Ready or not, Hurricane Sandy is expected to visit Monmouth County early this week.
Once the lawn furniture is stacked in the garage, the water bottles are secured and the flashlights have new batteries, there's not much more to do other than bunker down and hope for the best.
Make sure you receive vital information about the storm by following Patch. We'll be in touch with the local police departments, offices of emergency management and the school district in order to bring you the latest details.

Since power outages are inevitable having a long run time flashlight is a good idea.
Lowes has a 65 hour run time flashlight for under $5.00
