| episode_narrative | The nor'easter caused widespread minor with pockets of moderate tidal flooding along Delaware Bay, Raritan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the 15th and 16th. It also caused beach erosion. The worst reported tidal flooding occurred along Monmouth County where tidal flooding occurred for up to three high tide cycles. Tidal flooding on the 16th occurred along the westward facing side of Barnegat Bay in Ocean County as strong to high west winds pushed the water east.| |In Monmouth County, the combination of the run-off from the heavy rain and the tides caused many roads to flood including New Jersey State Roads 35 and 36. Municipalities affected by tidal and roadway flooding included Aberdeen, Belford, Belmar, Hazlet, Manasquan, Middletown, Port Monmouth, Sea Bright and Union Beach. In an effort to reduce tidal flooding, water was pumped from Lake Como in Belmar. On the beaches themselves, vertical cuts to the beaches averaged 2 to 4 feet, but reached as high as 6 feet in Sea Bright, Deal and Asbury Park. Cuts to the dune systems themselves occurred in Deal, Long Branch, Monmouth Beach and Sea Bright. The horizontal dune cut in Sea Bright reached 1500 feet.|In Ocean County, the worst reported flooding occurred on the bay side on the 16th. Portions of State Route 35 were flooded.

Elsewhere in Harvey Cedars and the county, most of the vertical cuts were between 2 and 4 feet. |In Atlantic County, the only reported erosion was in the Atlantic City area were a cut to the dune system occurred in a 10 foot area. The vertical cut to the beach reached 5 to 6 feet. Damage to the boardwalk railing was also reported.|In Cape May County, The high tide the night of the 15th forced the closure of the George Redding Bridge in Wildwood (New Jersey State Route 47) and Ocean Drive (County Route 619) between Ocean City and Strathmere. Tidal flooding also occurred on the Delaware Bay side with wave damage reported to several homes in Reeds Beach (Middle Township).|The pounding surf also caused the geotubes to become exposed in Strathmere. Most of the vertical cuts were 1 to 3 feet, except for a small section in Cape May City where the vertical cut to the beaches reached 6 feet.|In Cumberland County, in Downe Township, the road to Money Island was breached by the tide and sand was tossed on the road. In Seabreeze (Fairfield Township), a multi-million dollar shore restoration project (that was nearing completion) was badly damaged.
