It's been more than 185 years since a hurricane hit the New Jersey coast. But New Jersey officials aren't taking any chances considering last year's Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Governor Corzine's cabinet ran a drill today designed to help them prepare for and coordinate in the event that a Category Three hurricane came aground in the Garden State.

One of the top priorities is figuring out how to evacuate the up to $1 million residents and tourists along the barrier islands.

The governor showed up late for the meeting because he got caught in budget talks.
