SmokeEater Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 tough night for them...and you guys....what ya hear from emergency responders? Lotta the usual, trees/wires down etc. We've gotten lucky and only had 1 tree down in our 1st due area so far. Evacuated an old folks community in Buena Vista due to heavy flooding. Other then that, not too bad. Gonna take a ride over to the Firehouse in a minute, just to take a look at how the area looks. I'm sure we're gonna get a ton of calls once daylight comes and people wake up. REALLY can't believe I still have power, it's out all around me. 11,000 out in Hammonton alone.

NJHurricane Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 don't know if its my radar hallucination...but center of circulation or remnants thereof trying to make a landfall near AC per radar....close to NHC update time too this will be interesting if they make the center over or very near land at that time and if we still "officially" have a cane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even with Cape May Courthouse right now. It should make landfall around LBI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just woke up. No damage that I can see, but winds were stiff all night. Max gust of 38mph. 2.55" since yesterday morning here in Western Lehigh County, PA, and I count that as a blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 jinxed it...I think that jog might be the nail in the jersey landfall coffin...we'll see Looks like it might just cross between LBI and ACY. We'll see. Could wobble either way. Here's my guess for 5AM center. I think that's maybe 10 miles due south of Atlantic City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksCO_PA Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 12:45 - Neshaminy Creek at Langhorne at 11.62', flood stage is 9' Forecast crest has been increased to 20', would be 3rd highest on record: 22.84' - 8/19/1955 21.91' - 9/16/1999 Fortunately many of the homes located in the floodplain have been bought out or raised, Hulmeville Borough would jump out at me as being in trouble with that kind of crest. 4:45 - now 15.12' at Langhorne, forecast crest bumped to 21.5' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslotted Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Channel 10 reporting landfall this morning at Little Egg Inlet. I did not notice the exact time, but it was a few minutes past 6am. Amazed that we are completely dry inside and didn't lose power once. Still a bit to go, and we could get some cranking westerlies, but the worst is over. Looks like the euro will have done pretty well on track, at least through our area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
