Parts of New Jersey have a major cleanup on their hands after this weekend's violent storms. csloantv reports.
Residents say around 7:40 p.m. Saturday they heard a loud sound - the tornado ripping through fences and bringing power lines and trees, something neighbors in Howell told CBS2's Christine Sloan they haven't experienced before. Many said within minutes of the warning, they rushed into their basements as power went out.
"We knew it was coming our way. We pulled down all our shades. We got a bunch of stuff. My husband is a diabetic, so we got his supplies, and got flashlights, when I heard a big loud boom. I am like, this is serious, let's get in the basement," said Howell resident Caroline Smith. The town has set up a shelter for residents who may need to charge up phones or pick up water.
