Here's the stories you'll be talking about on the New Jersey 101.5 Morning Show on Wednesday:

⬛ Concerning images: Giant crack opens on busy Woodbridge road

WOODBRIDGE — A gigantic crack has opened up along a usually busy road in Middlesex County, sparking concerns among local residents.

The pavement split on Smith Street in the Keasbey section of Woodbridge, very close to its shared border with Perth Amboy.

While it widened after its initial discovery, the crack has stayed between Highland Avenue and Convery Boulevard, according to multiple reports.

On Sept. 4, Woodbridge Police shared an alert to the department's Facebook page without any other details other than to say “road closed.”

⬛ Concerned about strange planes overhead? It's nothing 'seedy'

✈ Low-flying planes may be seen over parts of New Jersey
✈ They are seeding thousands of acres of farmland with cover crops
✈ Seeding will continue through Sept. 15

If you live in certain areas of northern and central New Jersey and see some low-flying planes hovering about, don’t panic.

Chances are, these planes are seeding.

From now until Sept. 15, planes will blanket 4,200 acres of New Jersey cropland with cover crops, an all-natural mixture of annual ryegrass, winter rye, and crimson clover seeds.

The aerial cover crop seeding program is a partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service and nonprofit North Jersey Resource Conservation and Development.

Seeding by plane allows planting before crops are harvested, giving cover crops extra weeks to establish.

⬛ These 9 NJ beaches saw the worst erosion from Hurricane Erin

🔴 Impact of Hurricane Erin on New Jersey beaches outlined in new report
🔴 Waves leave sand cliffs up and down the Jersey Shore
🔴 Will cuts in federal funds leave shore towns high and dry?

A new state report finds Hurricane Erin left scars at dozens of beaches along the New Jersey coastline, and nine of them suffered worse erosion than the others.

While the eye of Erin stayed hundreds of miles away from the Jersey Shore, the Category 5 storm had serious coastal impacts.

Huge waves that reached 12 feet in the air crashed onto beaches, while high tide flooded shore towns. In Margate, more than a dozen people were rescued from floodwaters.

All of the notable damage to beaches occurred from Long Beach Island and down, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection survey.

"We're lucky we've invested so heavily in the protection of our shoreline. These engineered beach and dune systems are the first line of defense to storms just like this," DEP Commissioner Shawn Latourette said.

⬛ Jersey Shore school bus company abruptly stop service

🚍Seman-Tov abruptly stopped providing service on Monday afternoon
🚍Students were left on their own to get a ride to school on Tuesday
🚍One district is considering legal action over the suspension

NEPTUNE TOWNSHIP — A bus company that provides transportation for several districts in Monmouth and Ocean counties abruptly stopped service for students on Monday because of an insurance issue.

Neptune Township schools Superintendent Tammi Crader said the district was first notified Friday that it could not provide two high school buses on Monday, and that the company was working on rectifying the situation.

Less than an hour before dismissal on Monday afternoon, the company told the district it could not provide any large buses.

Parents were notified to pick up their children, and principals were instructed to set up special dismissal areas. A neighboring district was also able to provide a few buses to help with dismissal.

"We have been told they are dealing with an unanticipated insurance issue," Crader said.

Crader says the bus company claims to have resolved their issues, and are optimistic buses will be running again on Thursday.
