Flooding along the shore.
Anyone else see this flooding that we are having in Jersey? I think im gonna sleep upstairs tonite. the last high tide we had, roads and medas were completely flooded, glad I have a generator. lots of BP and Crestie eggs are cooking and a power failure could be disaster. :eek:

Re: Flooding along the shore.
Oh I know! I was down Ocean City a year or two ago and we had a horrible storm! The highway was under about 2 or 3 feet of water. I remember being stuck out in it with my friend and standing on the bench in one of those little bus stop booths and the water was just about up to our feet. Can't drive when your car is well underwater. I was tempted to buy a little raft and paddle on back to our hotel room, but my friend was not having any of that. That was a fun night.
Good luck Ed, I hope your house doesn't flood out!!!!!!
Re: Flooding along the shore.
I'm in Northern NJ and my basement and living room is all wet!! I really should have cleaned out my gutters!!!! At least I still have power...
Re: Flooding along the shore.
I just tried to come home from work, and there are detours all over the place........took me an hour and a half , and it's usually a 30min drive!
(ALSO) I had to work in this crap all night......heavy rain, just to get peoples stupid TV back on..............even if commercial power is out, i have to put generators out on telephone poles to get people tv back up! arrrrrrrrrr!
(well we have telephone too! so i guess people do need their phone just in case of emergencies! so in that case i understand!) but it still sucks to work in.....and the boss didn't call once, not even to say how are things, knowing i was on shift by myself, with no help. from 4:00pm to 12:30am (but if i do something wrong he doesn't hesitate to call! :mad: ......Thanks a lot Bill i see you really care! (rant over)
Re: Flooding along the shore.
YUCK Tyree! That doesn't sound like fun at all!
My power just went out. I called BG&E and put in a request. Then I was down my basement looking for heat packs for my guys & girls. Of course my flashlight batteries had to die... and by the time I found the heat packs and were about to set everyone up with one the power came back on.
I knew it was going to happen since our power goes out 98% of the time when it's windy or storming. Anyways the heat packs are now up here in case the power goes out again. In which case it probably will.
Re: Flooding along the shore.
Stay safe and dry everyone. Sounds like awful weather. I guess it's not so very bad that we got snow here in Toledo yesterday though I was pretty whiney about snow this far into spring. What rotten weather everyone's having! :(
Re: Flooding along the shore.
Oh no, Ed~! Flooding? You should send all of your snakes over here asap to protect them against flooding..!
Re: Flooding along the shore.
Has anyone heard if Ed lost power or is he still rocking in the free world???
Re: Flooding along the shore.
He was last on at 1:30am last night. Hopefully all is fine over there. If he did loose power I hope it comes back on soon for him and all his snakes!

Re: Flooding along the shore.
Yeah it's crazy flooding around here - I haveto cross a bridge to get ino my town, and we're all pretty much stuck in it now. Our major roads travel along the river and they (along with their businesses) are all flooded out. I think I have some pictures of last year .
Re: Flooding along the shore.
Hi All,
I live right off the Hudson river. My apt is 150 feet above sea level, but there are rivers of water rolling down the street. At the low spots, the water filling the sewers and drain pipes is so powerfull that the sewer manholes have been lifted and pushed several feet from the openings. If a car hits one of the open holes, it is totalled!!!! -- the car that is, those manholes are virtually indestructable. They closed all the Yonkers schools due to flooding. My kids are home being miserable and playing SIMS2...
Wishing everyone a safe day!
Re: Flooding along the shore.
Wow..... please everyone be safe. Sending best wishes to you all.......

Re: Flooding along the shore.
Ginger, I wish we had what your pictures look like. a bad guy came in from the north west and gave us a giant blow job.....theres large heavy things blown down all over. but the water is going down and the winds have dropped out alittle but still raining. life at the shore. :P
Re: Flooding along the shore.
Yah - those were from last year. This year was DEF. worse, but I bet it still doesnt beat whats going on down there!
Re: Flooding along the shore.
Wow, I am really upset to hear this.. I hope that things improve soon. We should have some minor flooding once the Foot of snow melts that fell between last night and now.
