As of 6:30 p.m., about 60,000 customers were without power in Chester County, Pa., The Inquirer reported. There were also numerous reports of downed trees and other damage as the storm headed east towards New Jersey early Tuesday evening.

It is not surprising, then, that some political elites reacted badly to Laudato Si.

Former Florida governor, current Republican presidential candidate and Catholic convert Jeb Bush rejected the encyclical out of hand:

\”I hope I’m not going to get castigated for saying this by my priest back home, but I don’t get economic policy from my bishops or my cardinals or my pope,\” he said at a New Hampshire campaign event.

 Rick Santorum, who ran for the presidency and lost in 2012 and some think might give it another go in 2016, told a Philadelphia radio station earlier this month that \”we probably are better off leaving science to the scientists and focusing on what we’re good at, which is theology and morality.\”

Although uncommon at the Jersey Shore, the Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol said in a statement, \”when the wind is coming from the northeast, warm water from the Gulf Stream comes to shore. With the warm water, often comes seaweed & critters from down south.\”

ESPN\’s \”Outside the Lines\” reported Monday that a ledger confiscated in 1989 during the raid on a Rose associate\’s Ohio home confirmed that baseball\’s all-time hits leader had done what he had long denied — bet on Cincinnati Reds games while he was still playing for them.The network reviewed Michael Bertolini\’s notebook, a document that baseball investigators had fought unsuccessfully to obtain and which a court order had kept locked away. The documents showed Rose wagers — up to $5,500 — on various sporting events, including Reds games.
