I just got back from a visit to the Raritan River....and this is at least 24 hours before the storm hits....and about three hours before high tide. The water is at the max for our boat ramps. Another three or four inches and you can't get onto the boat ramps without getting wet feet. THIS IS GOING TO BE A FLOODER FOR ALL LOW LYING AREAS. Best of luck for everyone. Here in Sayreville we have the Raritan Bay to our East, Raritan River to our North, and the South River to our West. I'm sure at high tide I won't be able to leave the town.

A friend in NC sent me a pic of their dock @ low tide and it was 3 feet lower than usual...hopefully high tide will not be 3 feet higher...but I think you're right paul about this being a doozy for the ramps/etc.

Nick, I agree. The USGS has what is called the 100 year flood. Anyone want to guess how frequently we are supposed to see these? In our area, it is 12 feet above mean high tide. Well we’ve seen these, I think, five times in the last twenty years….and tomorrow will be another!

Being Irish, I have prepared all necessary provisions for the next few days:

Good luck all. We are looking at a 10 foot surge. God bless all!

We drove down to the beach this morning there was flooding already three blocks in from the beach. The wind is really picking up now.

 

[Chrisgarrick]

There is a flooding scale used 0-6. We are looking at 5.8.....

Just in case anyone wanted to see a floating dock 6" higher than the fixed dock at lowtide.




This was a picture from a family member on the lagoon down in tuckerton.

Hopefully it's not as bad as it's being predicted. Be safe everyone and hopefully we'll all pull through it.
