NEW JERSEY SLAMMED by Nor’easter – Coastal Flooding Gets Worse (Latest Updates)

The Jersey Shore is facing major coastal flooding as a powerful nor’easter pushes water into streets across Long Beach Island and other parts of New Jersey. Surf City and Ship Bottom have already seen severe flooding, while strong winds, rough surf, beach erosion and power outages are adding to the disruption. The flooding is being driven by persistent onshore winds pushing seawater toward the coast and into bays, combined with higher-than-normal tides around the harvest moon. The storm center remained offshore Saturday morning, while heavier rain was expected Saturday night into early Sunday as the nor’easter moves inland. In this video, we examine the flooding on Long Beach Island, the growing impacts across the Jersey Shore, and the forecast track bringing the storm toward New Jersey. Coastal flood warnings cover the Atlantic coast, while eight counties remain under a state of emergency. Officials are also warning about dangerous surf, rip currents, strong winds and hazardous travel as another high tide approaches.
