Tornado watch for Monmouth, Ocean counties

Monmouth and Ocean counties are under a tornado watch until 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, the National Weather Service said. The watch includes much of central New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. In addition, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Monmouth and northwest Ocean counties until 5:15 p.m. Nov. 12. Just after 5 p.m., Asbury Park Press reporters across Monmouth and Ocean counties were reporting soaking rain and “pencil eraser-sized hail” falling across the region, which had left a layer of ice on the ground now and was drowning out conversations inside homes. Manchester Police sent out a public robocall at 5:55 p.m. urging the public to stay off the roads due to “slippery roadways” as a result of the severe weather. In New Jersey, the tornado watch includes eight counties in addition to Monmouth and Ocean. The other counties are Burlington, Camden, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset. The severe thunderstorm warning includes northwestern Ocean, central Monmouth, the eastern central portion of Mercer and southeastern Middlesex counties. At 4:39 p.m., a severe thunderstorm was located 14 miles northwest of Toms River, moving east at 25 mph, all according to the weather service. Frequent and life-threatening lightning was also causing

Jersey Shore’s Best New Asian Restaurant Is Taking a Big Chance in Bradley Beach

A bacon, egg and cheese fried rice sounds like something dreamed up after midnight, not the sort of dish you expect to find sharing a menu with pristine sashimi and roasted Peking duck. At Xina in Bradley Beach, though, that combination makes perfect sense. The restaurant at 415 Main Street...

State takeover of Lakewood schools clears judicial hurdle | Exclusive

TRENTON – A state judge will allow the Department of Education's takeover of the Lakewood Board of Education to continue. The judge issued a ruling last month denying the district’s request to have the hostile intervention stopped. The ruling, which the district immediately challenged with an appeal, was issued Oct. 1 but only made public this week. It moves the district a step closer to a state takeover, which was first announced by the state education department in January. Another hearing, however, will still have to be held to consider the state’s original claim that a takeover is necessary. That hearing has yet to be scheduled. Administrative Law Judge Susan Scarola issued the latest ruling that stated, “the commissioner may seek full state intervention,” later adding that Lakewood Schools have “shown insufficient compliance with quality performance indicators.” Lakewood school officials did not respond to requests for comment on the latest ruling. Scarola’s decision comes months after she held a hearing on the matter in June, during which Lakewood school board attorney Joshua Forsman sought to have the state’s intervention halted. Forsman called a full takeover “the most drastic remedy available” and “extreme.” In the 30-minute session before Scarola - the

Jersey Shore on 'The Voice': Connor, Mia advance to Top 10

Connor Closs is not making empty promises on NBC's “The Voice.” The Middletown resident delivered a scintillating version of the *NSYNC ballad “This I Promise You” on the Monday, Nov. 9, “Y2K Night”-themed Live Show episode. “You are a superstar,” said Coach Adam Levine. “I’ve been saying this about you from the beginning. You are sneakily one of the best singers in the competition without yelling it and screaming it. Your tone is beautiful and rich and buttery, in every register you sing.” Connor got the votes he needed and he's moving on in the competition. So is Mia Knight of Holmdel , who aced the Kelly Clarkson hit “Miss Independent” on Monday. “I am so proud. Mia, you killed that,” said Queen Latifah of 16-year-old Mia. “I love that. You just ate that up. You ate that sweet little bridge into that big, big note, and you look amazing.” The five singers who advanced on Monday were: Connor Closs Lexi Stephens Dakota Cohen Mia Knight Big Country Lillie Kolich of Team Queen was eliminated on Monday. Big Country scored big with a cover of Bon Jovi's “It's My Life.” Thirteen-year old Brianna Cameron of Union did not perform Monday.
