"You sure about this? Storm Surge COULD reach 14 feet if this were a class 4 storm."
Believe it. Here's why:
1. Angle of arrival is 90 degrees to the coastline. Very unusual' worst-case scenario (multiple hours of "pushing water" to shore).
2. VERY large storm. Lots of energy to push over a much wider-than-normal swath.
3. Certain areas much more susceptible to flooding that aren't even near the center of circulation due to geography - NYC in particular - due to "funnel" effect of water being driven from a wide bay into a narrow feeder.

NW New Jersey here..about 41 miles direct west of NYC..morris cty....windy here...light rain...most of the leaves are gone, occasional gust. I expect to lose power later, this area is notorious.....(just noticed birds still feeding...bring that in shortly before it becomes a missile)
Thanks NN,getting bad with the wind and rain here in lower Bucks.Parts of Bensalem told to evacuate.
Hi guys!
Currently sitting in a local restaurant/bar trying to play catch up. Power has been out 24 hours - but considering what it could have been in comparison to New York and New Jersey we faired fairly well on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Have gotten some pixs up on facebook - but haven’t been able to get them onto photobucket yet - we have very limited internet and laptop access at home.
Hope to have power by tomorrow and then will catch up here.
Our prayers and thoughts remain with those who have lost so much.
