PATH Service Suspended, Schools Closed Monday, Shelter Open

Hoboken's public schools will be closed on Monday. A determination about Tuesday will be made at a later moment, according to the district's website.

PATH trains were suspended as of 12:01 a.m. on Monday until further notice, according to an announcement.

For those who can't evacuate, the city will be opening a shelter at the Wallace School, located at 1100 Willow Ave. The exact time will be announced later today and a back up shelter is being prepared at Hoboken High School.

Residents were urged to bring in or secure all objects on balconies and back yards, due to a high wind alert. Wind gusts of up to 80 miles per hour were expected.

Regular garbage was picked up on Sunday night. All garbage bins should be moved inside immediately afterward.

For residents who are looking to park their cars, the city announced: "Cars parked on-street should be moved out of flood-prone areas. Due to the potential for flooding, the City of Hoboken is providing discounted parking at the rate of $5 per day in municipal Garage B (located on 2nd Street between Hudson and River streets) beginning Sunday, October 28th at 8pm through Tuesday, October 30 at 8pm for residents who reside in flood prone areas and have a valid Resident parking permit or Temporary parking permit placard. Parking before or beyond this time will be charged at the normal rate. Space is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents may also consider parking in private lots or moving vehicles out of town."
