You can see a bus coming over right now. That is the one road that is always opened when black horse pike and white horse pike flood, like they are diagnosis right now, and shut down. The Atlantic City expressway was built elevated over these bays but even over the marsh land and it always remains opened except in extreme storms. So here we are in the back bay and jared, if you can, show them this side of the street the here. You can see the water, is there a current being blown towards these towns and how would you like to be a little kid having to go to School Coming out of one of these houses today and where do you go, when you have to walk to school, there is a school nearby here or just walk up the street to catch a bus because when the bus comes they dont put out a planning to your front door. So these poor little kid have to go through a foot or two of water if they want to go to school today sadly and that is life here at the shore even in the summertime they have some troubles but at least in the summer the schools off. In the wintertime schools on they have a couple hours extra to get to school and then that doesnt help, getting you through some flood the water.

I have been measuring clocking wind here with my anometer, upward of 60 miles an hour gusts overnight. The wind were the most concern earlier last night it was the flooding, from ocean city to after license to wildwood, almost every street corner, was flooded. We saw tow truck operators, doing a tough business in terms of all night they said yanking cars out of water, that had been flooded. Minor damage to speak of. We hear there are scattered Power Outages but nothing major to speak of other than we can almost certainly once sunrise this morning we will see a lot of beach erosion once we see these local beaches. Cape may county Emergency Management it says they will be in touch with those local officials tomorrow to assess what kind of beach erosion but i can tell you by screens anytime a noreaster comes our way, local beaches, usually, lose a few feet of beaches as we continue to see, feel, some of these wind bands continue to pound the jersey shore this morning.
