Ah, got it.

I never got up that way much, I stayed down in Ocean Co. for the most part.

Let's see, exit 63, that's down around AC, IIRC.

The only time I got flooded on the bay was under similar circumstances, the "Perfect Storm" pushed all the water south, and then when the wind shifted it all came back north again and put about 6 inches of water in the house.

Barnegat, Waretown, and Forked River will be next. I know last night Waretown was already beginning to flood. Seaside Heights is already flooded, badly...

I think 63 is Long Beach Island. This is getting insane.

Lavalette, Ormand Beach, Bay Head, Brick Beach, Normandy...they'll all sink too.

I'm watching a traffic cam at Seaside, where the Rt. 37 bridge dumps off at Rt. 35.

Traffic still moving there.

LOL ==> Delaware's Governor Jack Markell in declaring his level 2 emergency areas, rules: You cannot drive on the roads, if you do, it's $115 fine. of course Television news crews/.gov vehicles are exempt.

So, .gov can take the time out to write you a fine of $115.

Of course! Writing tickets is much easier than doing something useful, like stopping crime or helping people.

JCP&L has about 35,000 out. The number is growing.

Ah, here we go.

The meat and potatoes of it.

What happens at Level 3?

Irony @ Ocean City, NJ:

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Probably not a good idea to have that as a caption as a hurricane flows in...

What happens at Level 3?

Fines are tripled, of course.

 

[Acala]

What happens at Level 3?

Gold and silver are confiscated.
