At 11:00PM there was water up to the boardwalk at Belmar. It was flooding streets in Bayshore Long Island and the center was still 450 miles SSE. When it comes ashore in NJ thetropical storm winds will reach to Portland Maine. This is a freak of nature. Part hurricane. Part nor’easter. And the noreaster part is what will do the damage and a lot of it.
Streets were flooding at high tide THIS MORNING on Chincoteague Island, VA and Ocean City, MD because of the surge and the impending full moon of Monday night........won’t even bother getting into what Virginia Beach and areas around it look like right now.
The pictures I saw from high tide on Chincoteague tonight told me all I need to know - and I’m only 9 miles west of there. I’m also only 9 east of the Chesapeake Bay and those surges are going to get worse after the seaside gets better.
Have a brother and sister in Shirley - - got any news from there? We were e-mailing Sunday afternoon - -
