New Jersey towns ordered evacuations and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he is considering them as a new storm threatens gales, rain and flooding.

Brick Township Mayor Stephen Acropolis ordered evacuation for waterfront areas by 6 p.m. Those farther inland whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Sandy were “strongly encouraged” to leave, according to a notice on the town website. Residents near Middletown Township were ordered to leave by 3 p.m. tomorrow because of a possible power loss, according to the municipal website.
