Had to go to work yesterday to set up the middle school as an evacuation center .

Neighbors took these pics. yesterday [ Sunday 10/29 early am prior to high tide ] these photos are just down the street from me .

In the photos your seeing , the Atlantic is usually 2 - 3 feet lower than the water levels your looking at , ..... and this was yesterday .

The hurricane path models show this hurricane hitting us square on the jaw , supposedly we're ground zero .

Bay beach , usually the distance from the lifeguard chair to the water is 30 - 40 yards .

Got that right T .

Just got back from morning patrol , the bay is now coming up the streets . Alot of streets by the bay I can't even access .

Pics are of my marina where I keep my boat , and one of the end of my street .

This is the boat ramp for the marina .

The bay is 5 - 6 inches into the streets at the end of my street , lower street areas already have 2 -3 feet of bay water on them .

Thats right,your right in the worse area.I thought you guys had mandatory evacuation.I really wish the best for you and your family.We are about 50 miles north,away from coastal surge,but still very much in the heavy wind,rain,and flooding zone.Did all I could do,now just waiting.

Supposedly we're gettin the face punch , but as explained on the weather channel this my be some kind of saving grace , ..... we get hit then next to nothing from the eye of the hurricane , then the other side not as bad .
Actually the outer areas of the eye should be worse , who knows ?
It's a sh$t sandwich for most of the east coast .

Anthony , we go through this pretty much regularly , mandatory evacuation down here means , the cops and fire dept. ride around the neighborhoods and announce your in a mandatory evacuation zone .
This just means if you choose to stay in a mandatory zone , if you call for help none will be sent , you had been warned .
Like I've said I've been through this for goin on 25 - 30 years , some pretty bad ones 91 - 92 noreaster to mention one , ........... this one has me worried though .
 
The main street , north - south on Long Beach Island runs abot 20 miles .
These pics are from friends and Long Beach Township emergency responders who I know .

The main drag is in the middle of the island between the ocean and the bay .

Early this morning ...........

This just in , a friend from emergency services just called and told me the ocean has cut through the island in quite a few places and has met the bay .
 
Whoa- that looks dicey indeed! I'm wishing you the best- keep your eye out for the worst. My Mom lives in Kill Devil Hills on the NC Outer Banks in an assisted living facility. It's a comfort to know that they have an evac plan.
 
Hi John , I've established contact with 5 - 6 people that live on L.B.I. , Barnegat and here in Waretown .

We've been trading pics and info all morning .

Friends in North Beach report the island is cut in half by the oceanside tennis courts on the boarder of North Beach and Surf City .

I'm a little worried about my people that live near the light house on the north end of the island ........ no contact .

Long Beach Blvd down by Bay Village .

I'll keep reporting as long as power lasts ......... storm still has till 6 - 8 pm to make landfall here .

All the water in the pics you see , ....... is the Atlantic Ocean .
 
Chuk , that's good news , a friend by Lewisburg , by Kerr Lake , border of N.C. and Virginia [ way inland ] called this morning and said it's rainin and blowin like hell .
 
Thinking of you all over here in the UK ,,,,!We can only imagine this kind of weather. :(
 
Lost power around 12 noon , just came back on , don't know how long it'll last .

Winds are the worst I've seen here for 25 - 30 years , gotta be blowin 30 - 50 mph , sustained .
 
Keeping you all in my thoughts Glenn...we're 30 minutes north of Albany and the wind is getting pretty gusty right now...still waiting...hoping the best for you guys to the south...
 
Neighborhood lost power at 8:15 PM,rain light so flooding not a concern,but still high winds
