My friend who didnt evacuate has just decided they will be getting valuables out once waters reside with low tide. Scary stuff. Dud they only evac Zone A? How do we not know by now that large wind swaths plus right angle coastlines mean surge disaster. We do realize that a Category 3 put up over 30 feet of surge in a similarly shaped piece of coastline a few years ago, do we not?

Hoboken is at a huge risk with this storm - I'm stunned mandatory evacuation orders didn't come earlier. Glad they finally issued one for all ground-floor apartments.

cjr231 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have a ground floor apartment in Hoboken. I left to get my car to higher ground thanks to this site. My roommate didnt leave. Not many took this seriously there. Many of my friends were out for hurricane parties tonight. I can see this being very bad in the next few high tides. Poor, poor handling by local officials.

Stormlover74 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 PSE&G just showing a few scattered outages on their website but I'm sure on the coast outages are probably starting to increase.

Hailstorm Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I seriously think that the surge has a 55% chance of going past 1.5 miles inland into Brooklyn, which is in the Gravesend, Homecrest and Bensonhurst sections. I am at 13' ASL in Gravesend. I think the high-end 12-foot AGL surge is more likely to verify now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoAko Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 If I'm understanding this graphic correctly, the surge is 1.0-1.5 feet above where it was predicted to be (the blue line)? Can't claim to be a surge expert, lol. If so, ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't claim to be a surge expert, lol. If so, ugh. Yep about +1 - 1.25 ft it looks like. So if that trend continues then the predicted 11 feet could be 12 tomorrow night! The surge right now is about 2.75ft above normal tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beyond concerned. I'm thinking more along the lines that I hope something changes and this doesn't happen. SMH. It went from fascinating science to a nightmare scenario unfolding really quick for me tonight. It hit hard that this is gonna be very bad. Been worried about surge for days now and I'm dissapointed that my fears seem to becoming a reality. This will be some event to watch unfold. I really wish I didn't have a midterm this wednesday; simply because studying/following this storm is taking up a considerable ammount of time.

TomWH Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm getting the feeling we can't comprehend the full impact of this storm. It has been over preforming and serge lvls for long island sound have been increasing. I don't even want to say what I am thinking, lets hope that people who need to evacuate do so. I guess gut feelings are as good as anything to some degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 There was flooding in Massapequa this evening when I drove around south of Merrick road. Interestingly enough, most flooding was along the streets in the most inland parts of the canals while houses right on the bay a bit more south there was no water in the streets.
