Hurricane Sally Could Bring Flooding To The Jersey Shore
Hurricane Sally Could Bring Flooding To The Jersey Shore
Hurricane Sally may be downgraded to just a tropical storm but as it sweeps it’s way across the country, New Jersey shore towns will get a touch of it’s power.
The current path of Sally has it heading through North Carolina and out near Virginia Beach. While we won’t see the rain or much wind from this storm we might see some moderate flooding.
According to the National Weather Service Philadelphia Mount Holly, Sally will be passing by us on a weekend when we would normally see higher tides due to the new moon.
The highest of tides will take place late Friday night and again at noon on Saturday and will be around 7 feet. This is normal BUT with the passing of Sally we could see these tides rise anywhere from 6 inches to 9 inches.
The best thing you can due is just prepare for the flooding.
Move your car to higher ground, tie down anything that could float and close your garage door.
It looks like the US Army Corps of Engineers will take this opportunity of higher tides to try and get the barge off the N. Wildwood beach.
If you are unaware of whats going on, a barge is currently stuck on the N. Wildwood beach. To read more about that and to see photos click the link below.
