episode_narrativeThe combination of higher than normal astronomical tides (New moon occurred a couple of days earlier.) and a low pressure system that moved east of the state produced minor tidal flooding at the time of high tide around noon EST on the 29th. The high tide at the Cape May Ferry Terminal reached 7.02 feet above mean lower low water. Minor tidal flooding begins at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water. Earlier in the morning, heavy rain produced poor drainage flooding in the county. Storm totals included 2.68 inches in Cape May and 2.51 inches in Wildwood. The low pressure system developed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico during the morning of the 28th and moved rapidly northeast. By 7 a.m. EST on the 29th, it was just southeast of New York City.
