Jane Manar She 0:19 is live in Ocean City, New 0:20 Jersey joining us live 0:22 right now To bring us the 0:23 latest Jane. Thank you so 0:24 much for being here with 0:25 us with a looking like out 0:26 there. Yeah, Christy we 0:29 have just reached high 0:31 tide in Ocean City New 0:32 Jersey and right now. we're 0:35 in moderate flood stage 0:36 and this was supposed to be 0:37 the highest. high tide 0:39 event of this storm

Of 0:41 course, we saw yesterday 0:43 afternoon. moderate flood 0:45 stage reached with about uh, 0:47 2 about 1 and a half 2 feet 0:49 of standing water. and 0:51 low-lying areas. especially, 0:52 on the Back Bay Ocean City, 0:54 New Jersey, It's a Barrier 0:55 Island off The Jersey 0:57 coastline. And so, once you 0:59 get closer to the beach, 1:00 there's a little bit more 1:01 elevation. but as you fall 1:02 back, West towards the Bay 1:05 and the inlet That's where 1:06 we see the elevation drop. 1:08 And of course, you start to 1:08 see this water bubble up 1:10 through the grates back up 1:11 through the drains and you 1:13 suddenly get standing 1:13 water. Like what I'm 1:14 standing in right now. 1:16 This is a perfect example 1:17 of what we say when we 1:19 mean Coast Still flooding, 1:20 it's not always. what's 1:20 happening on the beach, You 1:21 got to watch what's 1:22 happening in these back 1:23 streets. But this is 1:24 really dangerous because you 1:26 know what streets? You 1:27 have a natural slope and so 1:29 it might look deceiving to 1:30 the eye but this is very 1:31 deep water. I mean this 1:33 is easily. about a foot uh 1:35 deep and as you get into a 1:37 couple more spots closer 1:38 to the curb here, this 1:39 water encroaching in on 1:41 this business. up to the 1:42 first step. going into the 1:45 business is where that 1:46 water settles, you know 1:47 this can certainly create 1:49 some damage, we talk about 1:50 folks who drive through flood 1:52 waters like this, creates a 1:54 wake, almost like a wave 1:55 that then splashes up 1:57 into these businesses. into 1:59 homes and that too can 2:00 create a lot of water 2:01 damage. And so the message 2:02 has been please stay off the 2:05 roads. So with this being 2:07 the highest high tide of 2:08 this cycle when it comes 2:09 to our nor Easter Some 2:11 good news to report. It 2:13 doesn't look like we're 2:14 going to reach major flood 2:16 stage here now. we are 2:18 just keeping our eyes on 1 2:20 title gauge. It doesn't 2:21 mean that we're not in 2:22 major flood stage in 2:23 a couple more 2:25 title gauges down the island 2:26 or perhaps up the Jersey 2:27 coastline. But we're just 2:28 shy. In fact, we're as 2:30 far as rankings go. we've 2:32 cracked into the top 10 of 2:33 our worst title events. here 2:35 in Ocean City New Jersey 2:36 and we're just 1 behind 2:38 hurricane. Aaron Which 2:40 happened back in August 2:41 again. hundreds of miles 2:43 offshore but all that 2:44 energy. turned up 1 of the 2:46 biggest title events that 2:47 we'd had here in Ocean 2:48 City in a while. So now 2:49 we're matching that yet 2:50 again. just 2 months later 2:52 with this nor Easter. How 2:53 long does this water take 2:54 to receive? I'll tell you. 2:57 hours, right? So it takes 2:59 a moment to come up. 3:01 settle in. We saw this 3:02 flooding start around. 3:04 12:30, Peaks out now. as 3:05 we head through the 2:00 3:07 hour, but I'm telling you 3:07 we're not going to see any 3:08 of these roads clear. 3:10 becoming more passable. and 3:12 in ways safer. until 3:14 probably closer to 5 6:00 3:17 tonight And then at that 3:18 point, you know, we can 3:19 start to breathe a sigh of 3:21 relief as the worst is 3:22 behind us. wins has started 3:24 to die down. no longer 3:25 under wind alerts as our 3:27 top 1 gust today, have 3:28 been upwards of about 20 3:30 miles an hour. sustained 3:31 around 10 to 15. so big 3:34 difference. than what we 3:35 saw yesterday with wind 3:36 gusts upwards of 50. So, 3:39 Overall. a really 3:41 impressive storm to see how 3:42 it continues to spin 3:44 off the coast of the Jersey 3:45 Shore. But for now we just 3:47 deal with the flooding 3:48 Christy in before I let you 3:49 go. I know you just said 3:51 it could take hours to see 3:53 this water received but 3:53 water officials saying when 3:54 it comes to next steps and 3:56 where we go from here, 3:59 you know. next steps really 4:01 are just hunkering in and 4:02 then of course. Something 4:03 That We're monitoring very 4:05 closely. You look down the 4:06 way here. about 4 blocks. You 4:08 get to the coastline and 4:10 that is where we have 4:11 very significant. beach 4:13 erosion. What's happening 4:14 in the back streets. Very 4:16 disruptive. yes, but what's 4:18 worrisome is the Beach, 4:20 that is quite literally 4:21 been carved away. by our 4:24 10 to 12 foot waves and the 4:26 beach erosion significant. 4:28 Dunes have been sharp sharply 4:29 cut off by about almost. 6 4:31 to 8 feet in some areas 4:33 Beach completely. eroded 4:35 away. So a lot of the 4:36 officials now trying to get 4:37 through the day today. 4:39 hoping that these flood 4:40 waters people, he The 4:43 warning. Stay out of it, 4:44 but a lot of the folks, the 4:44 mayor, the emergency manager 4:46 coordinator told me. 4:47 you know, we're looking at 4:49 ways to shore up the 4:51 coastline and the beach as 4:52 we look through the next 4:52 several months. especially 4:53 as we get into next 4:54 summer because this is the 4:56 money maker, right? The 4:57 beach and for it to be 4:59 carved away, like it is 5:00 right now. Definitely a 5:02 concern. All right, Jane 5:04 Manar foxweather, appreciate 5:05 you. and your team, I'm 5:06 sure we'll be checking in 5:07 with you here as we 5:08 continue to follow all of 5:09 this. stay dry out there.

We're going to 0:28 start with meteorologist Matt 0:30 Brickman tracking the storm 0:31 tonight. Matt. Hey, Ryan, I'll 0:32 start you with a live look out 0:34 in Manasquan Inlet via NJ Beach 0:35 cams.com. And you can see that 0:37 rough surf, those powerful 0:38 waves coming way up the 0:40 coastline. And we do have 0:42 coastal flood warnings in 0:43 effect because of those waves, 0:46 2 to 3ft above typical high 0:47 tide levels is what could lead 0:49 to that coastal flooding. The 0:51 concern is for tonight and into 0:54 tomorrow afternoon, high tide 0:56 cycles just after midnight 0:57 tonight, and then just after 0:59 noon tomorrow. That's when we 1:00 could see the worst of the 1:02 flooding for roads along the 1:03 water. Some property there as 1:05 well, driven by these winds, 50 1:07 to 60 miles an hour already and 1:09 likely to get stronger through 1:11 the night tonight into the day 1:12 tomorrow. There's a high wind 1:14 warning that goes until 6 a.m. 1:15 tomorrow, that wind advisory 1:17 until 6 p.m. tomorrow. So 50 to 1:19 60 mile an hour winds sticking 1:21 with us pretty much all day 1:23 tomorrow. This as the storm is 1:25 still several hundred miles to 1:26 our south. But it is going to 1:28 be moving north tonight, 1:29 bringing more of that rain and 1:31 more powerful winds with it. 1:32 We'll talk about how things 1:34 improve as the storm pulls away 1:36 later in the week in just a bit, 1:38 but now we want to go to News 1:40 4's Charles Watson, who's live 1:41 in Long Branch, New York and 1:44 New Jersey. Excuse me. And 1:45 things not looking so great out 1:46 there right now, Charles. Yeah, 1:49 Matt, as you can probably tell, 1:51 conditions are deteriorating 1:52 down here. The city of Long 1:54 Branch and much of the Jersey 1:56 Shore just getting hammered by 1:58 rainfall that is heavy at times. 2:01 And wind gusts that can 2:03 certainly knock you off balance, 2:05 if not off your feet. And if 2:07 you need any more evidence of 2:08 how powerful this nor'easter is, 2:10 just take a look at the ocean 2:12 here behind me at Long Branch 2:13 Beach. You can see it is rough 2:15 surf out there. Those waves 2:17 just slamming into the 2:19 shoreline. The good news is the 2:21 beach is empty and has been 2:23 that way for a good portion. 2:25 Since we've been down here. 2:26 We've seen a few people down 2:28 there on the beach trying to 2:29 get a look at things or get 2:31 into the water, but, you know, 2:33 we have seen some people out 2:35 here on the boardwalk, but for 2:36 the most part, people are 2:38 heeding the warnings to stay 2:39 inside. As this nor'easter 2:40 makes its way up the coast and 2:42 through our area. And because 2:44 this storm has the potential to 2:45 be very dangerous. Acting 2:47 Governor Tahesha Way has 2:49 declared a state of emergency 2:50 for all 21 counties across the 2:53 state. Out of an abundance of 2:55 caution, New Jerseyans, 2:56 especially those in coastal 2:58 areas, could see moderate to 2:59 major coastal flooding. Wind 3:01 gusts as high as 60mph, and 3:04 beach erosion in and in large 3:06 part because of the rough surf 3:08 we've showed you a few moments 3:10 ago, folks we spoke to say the 3:12 flooding threat is real, and 3:13 they're doing what they need to 3:15 to secure their property. Take 3:16 a listen. We're definitely 3:19 locking up everything, 3:20 strapping on the boats, and 3:21 then we're parking everything 3:22 on top of the hill, trying to 3:24 get everything safe, making 3:25 sure the cars don't get flooded, 3:26 taking all the precautions so 3:28 you guys are good over the next 3:29 day or so, just for safety 3:31 reasons. You know, you never 3:32 know. We have the generator up 3:34 just in case. Yeah. Until the 3:35 Monmouth County Sheriff's 3:36 Office urging people to stay 3:38 alert and take precautions, 3:39 they're asking folks to avoid 3:40 things like driving during 3:42 heavy periods of rainfall, 3:44 driving, walking and swimming 3:45 in flood water. And they're 3:47 also asking folks to avoid 3:49 going around areas that are 3:51 often used to navigate traffic 3:52 safely around flooded areas. 3:54 Now, if you are planning to 3:57 travel today, we do want to let 4:00 you know that New Jersey 4:01 transit has suspended the North 4:03 Jersey Coast Line rail service 4:04 between Long Branch and Bay 4:06 head. Now, in terms of power 4:08 outages, we've been checking 4:09 with Jcpd, AL, and so far they 4:12 have only scattered power 4:14 outages along the Jersey Shore. 4:16 Those numbers start to tick up 4:17 as you go more inland. We'll 4:19 certainly keep an eye on the 4:21 conditions down here, and if 4:22 anything changes, we'll 4:23 certainly bring it to you for 4:24 now. We're live in Long Branch, 4:26 Charles Watson News 4, New York. 4:28 And we can certainly see how 4:29 strong the wind is there. 4:30 Charles, thank you for that 4:32 look. Turning now to Long 4:33 Island, where county officials 4:34 say the roads may not be safe 4:36 because of this storm. They're 4:38 also warning people in low 4:38 lying areas to watch out for 4:40 potential flooding. News 4's 4:41 Axel Turcios is on Long Beach, 4:43 with more on how long islanders 4:44 are bracing for the storm. Rana. 4:48 The winds are beginning to ramp 4:49 up here in Long Beach, Long 4:51 Island. Also, it hasn't stopped 4:53 raining since we got here and 4:55 the waves are picking up 4:56 strength. We've also seen 4:58 people driving around the city 4:59 and even some residents going 5:01 to local bars for drinks. But 5:03 local officials say do not go 5:06 out unless you have to. Yes, a 5:08 cold beer, Sunday Night 5:11 Football, watching football. 5:13 And then we're also waiting for 5:15 his game to start. If you head 5:16 inside this bar in Long Beach, 5:18 Long Island, you couldn't tell 5:20 a storm is upon New York. I 5:23 guess we're kind of worried 5:24 about it, but it is what it is. 5:27 Not too concerned at this point 5:28 about it, but we know we'll be 5:31 safe inside. Local officials 5:32 urge residents to brace for a 5:35 nor'easter. Winds ramping up by 5:38 the hour. This man almost 5:42 losing hold of his umbrella to 5:44 the gusty winds. We're 5:45 expecting one and a half to 5:47 three inches of rain. Officials 5:49 warn wind gusts could reach up 5:51 to 60 miles an hour. Along with 5:53 the high tides. It could mean 5:55 coastal flooding, leading to 5:57 beach erosion and damage. Avoid 5:59 driving through flooded 6:01 roadways. Really, it's better 6:02 if you can to avoid driving 6:05 altogether. Authorities warned 6:07 residents to be on high alert. 6:09 We encourage residents to have 6:11 flashlights, batteries and 6:12 charged cell phones on hand in 6:15 the event of a power outage. 6:16 We're definitely watching it. 6:17 We're kind of worried about the 6:19 flooding. That's our only. We 6:21 hope it doesn't flood too much 6:23 where we can drive. Officials 6:25 also recommend having a go bag 6:27 packed ready for every member 6:29 at home. Essential items such 6:31 as bottled water, nonperishable 6:34 food and basic medical supplies. 6:36 Local officials say they are 6:39 ready to remove any downed 6:41 trees or power lines, and in 6:43 the case of any emergency, you 6:45 should call 911 in Long Beach, 6:47 Long Island. I'm Axel Turcios, 6:49 News 4 New York. We want to 6:52 take a look at the city now. 6:54 The rain and high winds could 6:55 create some problems in the 6:56 city. News 4's Ida Siegal 6:58 continuing our team coverage at 6:59 Penn Station with how the MTA 7:01 is preparing for this Ida. Yeah. 7:04 That's right. And I should tell 7:06 you that we've had this steady 7:07 rain here in Manhattan for the 7:09 last few hours, but no 7:10 downpours just yet. However, 7:12 they're coming, and that's why 7:14 the MTA is paying close 7:15 attention to the storms so they 7:17 can protect the subways and 7:19 also the commuter rails and 7:21 everything in between. Earlier 7:23 this morning, they also showed 7:25 us how workers are preparing 7:27 for the storm at Bryant Park. 7:30 At the subway there, those big 7:31 yellow mats are vent covers and 7:33 they do exactly what you think 7:35 they do. They prevent about 80% 7:36 of rainwater from flowing down 7:38 into the station. The MTA has 7:40 put covers like that at 20 7:43 different stations around the 7:44 city, but they're also clearing 7:47 storm drains, and they have 7:49 trains standing by in case any 7:51 stations are impacted by 7:52 falling trees or flood 7:54 conditions. Turning now to the 7:57 bridges and tunnels, there are 7:58 some restrictions that are 8:00 already in effect at this hour. 8:02 Some trucks, including empty 8:03 tractor trailers, are now 8:05 banned from crossing bridges 8:06 until 6 p.m. tomorrow evening. 8:09 And that's because of the high 8:11 winds that are in the forecast. 8:13 And finally, commuter trains 8:14 like the LIRR and Metro-North, 8:16 the MTA has extra personnel 8:18 working just in case those 8:19 trains are impacted by the 8:20 storm. But with regard to the 8:22 subway today, workers gave us 8:24 some insight into what they 8:25 were doing. Take a listen. 8:28 Right now we're putting down 8:29 the vent covers. These trains 8:31 were not designed to hold large 8:33 volumes of water, so the vent 8:35 covers prevent the station from 8:37 being flooded. Their goal, of 8:41 course, is to keep everybody 8:42 moving throughout the storm 8:44 tonight and tomorrow. But as 8:46 always, it's smart to 8:48 anticipate some potential 8:49 delays and service changes. So 8:50 definitely keep your phone in 8:51 hand and pay attention to the 8:53 news in case something does, in 8:55 fact, happen From NBC New York

TRANSCRIPT: t first it's 5.31 Brenna 0:04 Weick is at the shore with the 0:05 latest from there. Good morning 0:07 Brenna. Hey good morning Bill. 0:08 The rain is light right now, 0:09 but it's coming down sideways. 0:11 That wind that you mentioned, 0:12 definitely an issue that we're 0:14 seeing down here. And of course 0:15 the flooding, if you take a 0:17 look here, I'm standing in the 0:18 middle of 11th Street. This 0:19 road is closed. So we're safe 0:21 where we're standing. But as I 0:22 walk over toward the curb, I 0:24 was going to try and show you 0:26 guys exactly how high the water 0:27 is in front of this home, where 0:29 you can see it's kind of up to 0:31 their steps leading to the 0:32 porch, but it looks like the 0:33 water would go over my boots if 0:35 I walked any closer. So I'm 0:36 going to stick where I am. I 0:39 want to stay safe. And then as 0:40 we pan to the left, you can see 0:42 it coming up on this stop sign. 0:44 The wind blowing, that stop 0:45 sign, the middle of the street. 0:47 This is Bay Avenue, by the way. 0:49 The middle of the street is 0:50 clear, so some cars are going 0:52 through. You just have to drive 0:53 in the middle of the street if 0:55 you're going this way. But all 0:56 of these side streets, it looks 0:58 like, are closed. As you can 0:59 see in the distance. We are 1:01 pointing our camera toward the 1:02 bay. Right now we're about one 1:04 block away from the bay, about 1:05 2 or 3 blocks away from the 1:07 ninth Street Bridge, two blocks 1:08 away. So right now, this is one 1:10 of the areas where we're seeing 1:11 some issues in Ocean City, 1:13 definitely some gusty winds. So 1:14 be careful if you're driving 1:15 just for that reason. But also 1:17 because of the flooding, 1:17 officials are warning you not 1:19 to drive through the flooding 1:20 if you can help it. They don't 1:22 want you to get stuck and your 1:24 car to stall out. We've seen 1:25 that in some other coastal 1:26 towns in our area. You can see 1:28 a car driving down that street 1:30 just about a block away from me. 1:31 The wind definitely takes your 1:33 breath away a little bit. If 1:34 you're headed out the door, 1:35 just try to remember all of 1:37 those things. Try not to drive 1:38 through the flooding. State of 1:39 emergency is in effect in New 1:41 Jersey right now, but there are 1:43 no evacuations in place. 1:43 Officials have said if they 1:45 need to use the Atlantic City 1:46 Convention Center for shelter, 1:47 they will. But so far that 1:49 hasn't been an issue. Hopefully 1:50 everybody's homes are safe. 1:51 Stay inside if you can. Good 1:53 excuse to stay inside and maybe

Today Show Oct 13 AM: Nor'Easter Pummels East Coast With Rain, Wind, Flash Flooding
overnight a nasty nor'easter hammering the northeast. 0:05 mills from south carolina to maine waking up to soaked streets, 0:10 prompting police to barricade some roads in margate city, 0:13 a combination of the intense storm fueling downpours and the high tide. 0:18 floodwaters into coastal communities like atlantic city, 0:20 new jersey. 0:21 we knew it was going to rain, 0:22 but we didn't know it was going to be like this. 0:23 local officials across all of new jersey and parts of new 0:26 york issuing emergency declarations due to the extremely hazardous conditions. 0:31 how would you describe what the streets look like right now? 0:34 they're starting to get a little precarious. 0:37 and the same storm causing chaos in the carolinas. 0:41 water rushing into streets and highways in the outer banks, 0:44 and the deluge dumping more than 10 inches in georgetown, 0:47 south carolina as aerials show the inundation of 0:50 the tidewater area of virginia with floodwaters everywhere. 0:53 the nor'easter still battering new england, 0:56 bringing rain and high winds from connecticut to cape. 0:58 including 50 mph gusts, 1:01 those difficult conditions also causing serious issues at airports across 1:05 the east coast with more than 5000 delays sunday. 1:08 that is the bridge while out west, 1:10 the remnants of tropical storms still being felt as muddy waters tore 1:15 through streets in arizona and a possible funnel cloud spotted near tucson. 1:20 in colorado, 1:21 a levee broke, 1:22 forcing more than a dozen high water rescues, 1:25 all of it part of a severe stretch of weather sparing few sections of the country. 1:30 and on a literal raining on a parade, 1:32 guys, 1:34 the columbus day parade in new york city canceled because of the inclement weather. 1:37 that's the first time it's happened 1:38 in the parade's history. 1:39 and by the way, 1:40 in new york and new jersey, 1:41 some 23,000 customers without power right now. 1:44 we're going to be watching that closely throughout the day. 1:46 craig, 1:47 back to you. 1:48 i'm not sure if you know the person who drives that car over your right shoulder, 1:50 but it looks like they could use another bumper sticker or two. 1:54 i know there's only 500 of them. 1:58 i'll talk to you. 1:59 let's bring in dylan. 2:00 she's in for al this morning. 2:01 you have a closer look at the storm and then what we can expect. 2:03 yeah, 2:03 well, 2:04 it is on the move. 2:05 it's moving up across new england, 2:07 so a lot of the heavier rain that we've been dealing with down through delaware 2:08 into new jersey that is now lifting up into new york and also into massachusetts, 2:13 connecticut, 2:13 rhode island, 2:15 eastern long island still dealing with the brunt of the really strong winds too. 2:18 southampton reporting wind gusts up to 57 2:21 mph right now. 2:22 we are looking. 2:23 at those winds to still be around 40 to nearly 60 2:26 mph. 2:27 so that's why power outages are still in the forecast. 2:29 the ground is saturated. 2:30 it could topple the trees and the power lines. 2:32 we also have this easterly component to the wind that is pushing this water on shore. 2:37 so the red and the purple dots, 2:38 those are where we do have moderate to major flooding, 2:41 that inundation of water right along the coastline combine that 2:44 with up to 2 to 3 inches of additional rain, 2:47 especially across southeastern massachusetts. 2:49 that's why flooding will be a concern through the day. all more from this story
