| episode_narrative | A northeaster caused erosion, minor tidal flooding and dune damage along coastal New Jersey on the 5th and 6th. The combination of the low pressure system moving northeast along the nearby Atlantic and a high pressure system in nearby Canada kept an onshore flow for two days along the New Jersey Coast. The worst erosion was reported in Bay Head and Mantoloking Boroughs in Ocean County. In Bay Head, a stone seawall by the Bridge Avenue Beach was exposed for the first time since the 1992 northeaster. There was a 12 to 14 foot vertical drop that ran for 40 feet. Some stairs were suspended in air. Dunes were cut in half. Elsewhere in Ocean County, moderate erosion was reported in Seaside Park, Seaside Heights, Lavallette and Dover Township. Elsewhere along the shore, about a foot of beach was eroded from most of the Monmouth, Atlantic and Cape May County beaches. The dunes in Ocean City (Cape May County) were hit hard. A portion of the Atlantic City Boardwalk buckled. Back bay tidal flooding the morning of the 6th shut down exit 2 on the Atlantic City Expressway near Atlantic City and also the White Horse Pike (U.S. Route 30). Back bay flooding also inundated Beach Street in Sea Bright (Monmouth County). On the morning of the 6th tides reached 7.44 feet above mean lower low water in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County) and and 6.9 feet above mean lower low water in Cape May (Cape May County). Minor tidal flooding usually begins at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water. Gusty winds which peaked with a gust to 57 mph in Avalon (Cape May County) caused about 2,500 homes and businesses to lose power along the shore. Most of the outages were in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The Northeaster was over the Gulf Coast States the morning of the 4th. It moved northeast to near Cape Hatteras the morning of the 5th (1008 mb), was just east of the Virginia Capes the evening of the 5th (1002 mb), just east of Atlantic City the morning of the 6th(1004 mb) and near Nantucket during the evening of the 6th (992 mb). |
