Storm Surge Flooding in New York City iWitness Weather: JordanF05 Flooding near Avenue C and 14th street in New York City. With the first high tide cycle Monday morning, significant coastal flooding inundated many locations in southern New Jersey.
During the second high tide cycle Monday evening, storm surge flooding inundated portions of the New York City area. Water was reported to be three feet deep in 4 New York plaza and six feet deep outside. Large amounts of water flooded the path train system under the Hudson River. WNBC reported that water was up to the attics of homes on Staten Island with rescues ongoing. FDNY engine 206 headquarters on Grand Street was evacuated by boats. An iWitness Weather photo showed flooding near Avenue C and 14th street in New York City. A tweet sent by @MTAinsider showed water in the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel (Brooklyn Battery Tunnel).
Early Tuesday morning, a levee break along the Hackensack River in Moonachie, N.J., prompted evacuations. Up to six feet of water was reported in parts of Moonachie, Little Ferry, Hackensack, and South Hackensack. The levee break was caused by storm surge that pushed upriver.
A new storm tide record of 13.88 feet was set at The Battery in New York City on Monday evening. The old record was 11.2 feet in 1821. Tide levels in Sandy Hook, N.J. topped the previous record from the Dec. 1992 Nor'easter and Hurricane Donna in 1960!
Coastal flooding will continue through additional tide cycles beyond Monday's peak into Tuesday afternoon, in some areas!
Tuesday's astronomical high tides at The Battery are at 9:07 a.m. and 9:33 p.m. (MORE: New York area impacts)
2: Hurricane-Force Wind Gusts
Location Top Wind Gust
Eatons Neck, N.Y. 96 mph
Tuckerton, N.J. 88 mph
Westerly, R.I. 86 mph
Madison, Conn. 85 mph
Wellfleet, Mass. 81 mph
New York, N.Y. (JFK airport) 79 mph Wind gusts of 60 to 80+ mph were reported from Maine to New Jersey and Maryland. Wind gusts topped 60 mph in Boston and 75 mph in New York City.
Downed trees, powerlines and other wind-related damage have been reported in Maine, Mass., Conn., R.I., N.Y., N.J., Pa., Vt., N.H. and Ohio.
The threat of downed trees, powerlines and power outages will continue through Tuesday, especially farther west over the Great Lakes region where the strongest winds will occur. (MORE: Sandy's status and forecast impacts | City-by-city impacts)
3: Nearly Nine Million Without Power As of 6 a.m. Tuesday, The Weather Channel and weather.com News Desk reports that 8.9 million customers are without power from Sandy. (LATEST NEWS: NY, NJ and CT | Mid-Atlantic | New England)
4: Appalachian Blizzard
Background The largest amount of snow reported as of early Tuesday morning was 18 inches in Davis, W.V. Up to ten inches of snow was measured as far south as Newfound Gap, Tenn. at an elevation of 5,000 feet. In Russell County, Va., nine inches of snow was reported on Big A Mountain. Mount Davis in southwestern Pa. saw nine inches of snow. In far western Maryland, Oakland reported 12 inches of snow.
Blizzard conditions were reported in Tucker Co. and Preston Co., W.V.
Coupled with the high winds we mentioned earlier, the threat of downed trees, power outages, and, due to the weight of the heavy, wet snow, roof collapses exists with this storm. Whiteout conditions are possible, at times. Travel will be difficult, if not impossible. (INTERACTIVE: Radar | Winter Weather Alerts)
5: What's Next? Lingering Winds Will Hamper Power Crews - This storm won't sweep out to sea quickly, but slowly, painfully wind down over the next few days. Tuesday's winds will still be strong (though not nearly as much as Monday) over much of the Mid-Atlantic states and Northeast. They'll also be brisk, and particularly strong downwind of the Great Lakes Tuesday into the Ohio Valley and Appalachians. Lakeshore flooding along the south shores of Lakes Michigan and Lake Erie will likely continue. While winds take another demonstrative downward step Wednesday, they'll still be pesky enough to potentially hamper power restoration efforts, particularly along the seaboard from southern New England to the Outer Banks, as well as the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes Hurricane. Winds will continue to wind down gradually through the rest of the week, being the most pesky downwind of the Great Lakes, Long Island, the Jersey Shore, Delmarva, Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. Behind the storm, cold air will be dragged into many of the areas that have the risk of losing power. Expect early morning lows to bottom out in the 30s from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley into the Tennessee Valley and Appalachians into the interior Northeast, with 40s for lows encroaching into lower elevations of the Mid-Atlantic States by Wednesday morning. Daytime highs will only rise into the 40s and 50s over much of the areas that may be without power through much of the rest of the work week.
