Driving along the barrier island in northern Ocean County. Coming down pretty hard with this new band pushing ashore. One lightning flash and a low rumble of thunder too. Windy, 30-35 mph gusts. Side streets along Barnegat Bay are experiencing minor tidal flooding along the shoulders and storm drains.
Started raining here around 1:30 am. So far, 0.41" of rainfall. Coming down at a moderate rate now. Temp up to 47*. Noticeably breezier within the hour, gusts up to 25 mph.
Expecting all rain here.
We had at least 10 trees down just on my block during Isaias. Three of them down on our property alone. Luckily everyone was at work that day, otherwise all of our vehicles would have been destroyed. Damage in my neighborhood was much worse than Sandy
