Minor Tidal Flooding After Storms Soak South Jersey
By NBC10 Staff and Wire Reports ••
Wind and strong surf complicated clean-up efforts along the Jersey shore after a stormy weekend. NBC10’s Cydney Long is in Ocean City with more.
A drenching rain soaked most of New Jersey over the weekend, spurring minor flooding in some areas and washing a Jersey Shore home into the water.
The storm also caused scattered power outages throughout the state and led to road closures in South Jersey, including the Black Horse Pike which was closed in both directions between Atlantic Avenue and the Atlantic City Expressway due to flooding.
NBC10’s Aundrea Cline-Smith is in New Jersey as flooding concerns continue amid a weekend of rain.
The rains also slowed down traffic on the state's major roadways, including the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike, but no major travel issues were reported.
A coastal flood advisory remained in effect for the Atlantic Coast and lower Delaware bay in far South Jersey and Delaware until 7 p.m. Monday.
Coastal communities dealt with the brunt of the storm over the weekend, as the heavy rains and high tides battered the region.
