I lived in NJ for 50 years until moving to FL a few years ago.  These types of events rarely work out for most of NJ and the rain/snow line is usually well north of where its predicted.  And resting hopes on the CCB snow being where its forecast is a fools errand.  Enjoy whatever snow falls!

If she has a place to stay higher up near by, she should be ready to go. If she needs to leave the County, sooner the better as traffic starts to back up and that SUCKS.

Finding a hotel is probably already a challenge.

Possible the tide will be sucked out during the day early tomorrow with some offshore winds creating a false sense of security, but once it wraps around it can be like a tsunami coming in.

Thanks, I think she is going to leave tomorrow morning for our side of the state (Volusia)

In Pinellas County distance from the coast is not what counts, it is the Zone Map. I live five blocks from Boca Ciega Bay, but am about 15ft up in elevation. If we get a surge up to our house, much of Pinellas will be under water, maybe even from the Tampa Bay to the Gulf is some areas way inland.

Zone B, right on the border of A.  She is just of the 275 causeway

Ok, need your help.  I'm a lurker whose read this board for awhile.  I have niece who moved from PA to St Pete on Saturday and this is her welcome! She doesnt know if she should leave her apartment, she is on the border of evac zones A&B.  I said she should, but dont want to overreact.  Thoughts?

Is there history on the direction of this miss. These two examples are both to the right -- is that a known bias or just a coincidence for these two?

I feel like most storms have moved east, but that's just a feel, nothing quantitative
