Brick Tamland Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 A little confused on what should be posted where with all these threads. We have a live thread but then seems things are deleted when someone posts something about what is happening right now with Sandy. And then we have this thread and another thread about Sandy. Just seems like one big thread now would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Adam Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Can confirm posts about Atlantic City, Longport and Brigantine, as per police radio. Conditions deteriorated here (5 mi. NE ACY) in past hour. Reports of poles snapped in half in Brigantine. Numerous evacuations that had been underway in northern Atlantic County have now been suspended. Hoping she makes the coast in time to somewhat mitigate the next tide cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am restructuring the wording in both threads, the live thread should be for meteorological discussion, this thread should be for observations and impacts. EDIT: They are both "live" threads, but one is focused on meteorological discussion (the previous "live" thread) and this thread will be for some impacts.

LocoAko Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 E-mail update from Jeff Lindner (HCFCD): Sandy plowing toward the coast. NWS Mt Holly, NJ noon briefing: “Options for it to miss us have run out. This is our worst case scenario. Evening high tide will bring coastal flooding worse than anything we have ever seen. Barrier Islands will be cut-off completely from the mainland. Historic life threatening storm surge is imminent” Radar Loop: http://radar.weather...101111&loop=yes Coastal water level rise in progress, sea water already inundating portions of lower Manhattan and N New Jersey. See images below: I can't believe what I'm seeing from my home, and so far before high tide. Just awful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msalgado Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Masters mentioned earlier today that the subway experienced a lot of flooding at 10.5 feet on the Battery guage. Thats about a foot higher and still climbing now. I can only imagine how bad its getting in southern Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneJosh Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Clear at this point that ACY and NYC are going to be the hardest hit Agreed. My overall impression is that the right backside of the cyclone, despite having no convection, is bringing the most serious effects in terms of both damaging winds and also sudden surging along the coast-- and it looks like NYC/W LI is getting the brunt of it.
