Harbourton Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I can still see some big rainfall totals somewhere, but one thing that seems unlikely is a big Delaware River flood. One thing I've been calming people about if they ask... just doesn't look like the upper basin will get the necessary rainfall to generate a significant flood. Unless the track makes a radical change. Agree with that totally Ray. Yardley does not need another flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardlover Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Is there any change that this can still go out to sea and not make the forecast left turn? I know that is pretty much hoping for the impossible given the atmospheric conditions at play...but is there really any realistic chance of us being spared?

dryslotted Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I hope this resonates with folks near the coast... NOUS41 KPHI 281841 PNSPHI DEZ001>004-MDZ008-012-015-019-020-NJZ001-007>010-012>027-PAZ054- 055-060>062-067>071-291200- PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 241 PM EDT SUN OCT 28 2012 ...AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM TO IMPACT THE AREA... SANDY IS EXPECTED TO SLAM INTO THE NEW JERSEY COAST LATER MONDAY NIGHT, BRINGING VERY HEAVY RAIN AND DAMAGING WINDS TO THE REGION. THE STORM IS A LARGE ONE, THEREFORE DO NOT FOCUS ON THE EXACT CENTER OF THE STORM AS ALL AREAS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE AN HISTORIC STORM, WITH WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE AND POWER OUTAGES, INLAND AND COASTAL FLOODING, AND MASSIVE BEACH EROSION. THE COMBINATION OF THE HEAVY RAIN AND PROLONGED WIND WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR LONG LASTING POWER OUTAGES AND SERIOUS FLOODING. PREPARATIONS SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP AS CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO WORSEN TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY ON MONDAY. SOME IMPORTANT NOTES... 1. IF YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO EVACUATE A COASTAL LOCATION BY STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS, PLEASE DO SO. 2. IF YOU ARE RELUCTANT TO EVACUATE, AND YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO RODE OUT THE '62 STORM ON THE BARRIER ISLANDS, ASK THEM IF THEY COULD DO IT AGAIN. 3. IF YOU ARE RELUCTANT, THINK ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES, THINK ABOUT THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO WILL BE UNABLE TO REACH YOU WHEN YOU MAKE THE PANICKED PHONE CALL TO BE RESCUED, THINK ABOUT THE RESCUE/RECOVERY TEAMS WHO WILL RESCUE YOU IF YOU ARE INJURED OR RECOVER YOUR REMAINS IF YOU DO NOT SURVIVE. 4. SANDY IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM. THERE WILL BE MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURIES ARE PROBABLY UNAVOIDABLE, BUT THE GOAL IS ZERO FATALITIES. 5. IF YOU THINK THE STORM IS OVER-HYPED AND EXAGGERATED, PLEASE ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION. WE WISH EVERYONE IN HARMS WAY ALL THE BEST. STAY SAFE! $$ NWS MOUNT HOLLY, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHurricane Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just did a walk around town here in Woodbury Gloucester county...snapped pics with my phone for "before" pics should things change dramatically later...walked to the Natl Guard armory and chatted with a guardsmen on smoke break...he said the armory would be used as a command center, most of their equipment was sent towards the shore in a convoy that left this morning...walked down to Woodbury creek which is tidal and already full, going to check back at high tide. Light rain and breezy, occasionally gusting about 20-25mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Mandatory evac's along the DE coastline. Almost to late now. Here's the only road leading into/out of S. Bowers Beach, DE. Water level was at about 8 - 10" when I got there, 30 minutes later it was closer to 16" and high tide is still about an hour from now. This pic was about an ago, so I would imagine by full high tide that sign you see in the pic will be gone and that means the water will have breached the bridge i was standing on when I took this pic. Waves at this location are normally 1' or so (3' on a really bad day), already crashing at 5' - 6' this morning. Couldn't get to the beach without de-clothing though so just eyeballed it from the truck. i'll see if any of the pics i took of the wave action came out clear enough to post (was still really dark for the time) I know that road. I grew up in Camden and graduated from CR. I know someone who lives off of that road in a townhouse right on the Bay in Slaughter. I hope they evacuated.

dryslotted Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks guys... My fear is that I commute in tomorrow only to have them close on me while I'm in town. Even if they're open, that would not be pleasant trip getting blown all the hell over the place. Looking like a work from home day tomorrow...
