Outage risk in New Jersey

New Jersey's outage risk spans coastal and inland patterns: the Jersey Shore around Toms River faces direct Atlantic hurricane and nor'easter landfalls with storm surge and barrier-island exposure (as seen with Sandy), while Newark and Jersey City in the dense Hudson/Essex County corridor see nor'easter wind and flooding-driven outages plus summer heat-driven grid strain typical of the greater New York City metro area.
