Tracking the nor'easter: Coastal flooding, high winds and power outages

And we are talking all about this nor'easter as we're taking live pictures across our area. Look at Ocean City, New Jersey, those waves just crashing in 60 degrees. I like this camera here, Stone Harbor. You can just see it shaking in the breeze. That's those winds have been picking up as we've been throughout the day so far today. Any more live cameras? Oh, no, but we do have Drew Anderson, meteorologist Drew Anderson from Philly. How are you doing, Drew? Hey, I'm just down 95 from you. Things are doing well. And just like you, we are trapped in this nor'easter, historic nor'easter for this time of the year. First of all, we're going to say welcome to you. It's great to have you up here. You've traveled up 95 to be with us. I drove through Philly, you know, not too long ago from Florida to get up here to New York City. And I'm excited to be here. My first full weekend on air. And hey, we have a nor'easter, so that's that's pretty exciting. Yeah. Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. That's quite a welcome. Right. And by the way, I love that video you did on your socials on because you're on the socials. You're Lauren and I love how you were talking about what a nor'easter is, how it gets the name. Do you want to talk a little bit more about how it gets the name? Yeah. It's all with that wind direction. So that northeastern flow with those winds, you know, pushing their way onshore. It's how we do that storm surge. Of course, it's an area of low pressure in the Atlantic that, you know, like we're seeing here producing rainfall, but producing those heavy winds mostly in that storm surge. And then, of course, you know, we have the full moon. So we're talking about the tides and that flooding. I don't know if you've seen the pictures and videos that we've had here. I know we'll show them later, but yeah, pretty impressive. Yeah, you're not kidding. So what I'll do is around the region and get a Stone Harbor and look right here. You were talking about Stone Harbor a minute ago. That's a dock. And when we were doing our morning news down here in Philadelphia, half of that was underwater. Wow. Now that was high tide. High tide was at eight this morning. Right now, at this moment, we're heading toward low tide at 2 p.m. 8 p.m. will be the next high tide because all morning long I was making fun of saying I'm not having breakfast or lunch out there tonight. But it just gives you a feel for some of the flooding that we've been seeing and dealing with. And you've been seeing how the seas look a little angry. Lauren, tell you what, in terms of when you've seen the strong waves down in Florida with the say a tropical storm or hurricane, let's look at the waves here like a Cape May or Atlantic City. What do you think? I mean, they're not that high. Right. How does that compare to some of the other storms you've seen along the coast somewhere? You can tell they're turning up, but you're right, they're not as intense as I've seen hurricanes. I grew up in South Florida, so I've seen plenty of hurricanes growing up and forecasted through Ian, Helene, Milton, you know, and when you see a hurricane, for example, you know, you really see those waves turning. But look at Atlantic City there, though. I mean, it's not a day to be in the water for sure. I mean, without a doubt. Now, here's the deal. We've seen some surfers go in the water. They live for this sort of stuff. And I was looking at that camera. I'm like, well, wait a minute. I don't even think the waves are even that high or worth your time being cold and wet. You know, we were talking about this earlier on Fox 5 about the rip currents. Any time you have something that's churning in the ocean, it's rip currents. You obviously don't have the lifeguards on duty. So I feel like you're taking your life into your own hands for recreation. And, you know, for those kind of waves, I don't know if I'd be the one on out. No, no, definitely not an ideal day to be outside, especially, you know, I mean, even aside from the coast, even our inland areas, you know, still seeing that rain, we just showed radar there. And, you know, you can see the bands of rain moving in. But, I mean, can we talk about those winds for a second? I mean, we had a wind gust, peak wind gust, Long Beach Island, 74 miles per hour, hurricane strength winds. That's just so crazy to me. Wow. And, you know, what's interesting about LBI is you only have one way in and out. You come in the main area, you either go to the left or to the right, and that's all you got for what is, I think it's about an 18-mile stretch. So to hear that, I'm curious, it was like Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars, where that top wind gust came in. In the Philly area, wind gusts, they've been topping out around 40 miles an hour or so. We've been watching this throughout the morning because, you know, that's the other hallmark of a nor'easter. Not only do you get the name from the wind direction, but they always bring strong winds. I think about up here a true nor'easter. Now, this one is a nor'easter, but when I say true in my head, I think snow. A nor'easter clearly does not have to be snow. But I'm thinking about, oh, you get these blizzard-like conditions because the winds are howling. And certainly outside my house, I live about an hour outside of Philly, oh, I heard the winds howling last night. But they're nothing as strong as I've seen for blizzards we've had up here or even when we've gotten tropical storms or hurricanes. That's been the one positive with this nor'easter. The max wind speeds inland and even down the shore past, say, like where you were talking about Long Beach Island, they haven't been really that much very frequently past, say, 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts, which is good because once you start getting past those 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts, you're getting a lot of down tree limbs, down power lines. We've only had a couple reports of that across South Jersey here at home. And I'll show you some of the future wind speeds we've been watching because it's all about the direction, right? Take a look at that kind of down our area. You guys are going to get the strongest wind across New York as this comes inland over the night. I'm sure you've been watching that throughout the day. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, even that's pretty impressive, those wind gusts there as well. I mean, seeing some 30-mile-per-hour wind gusts for y'all, it's pretty good, you know. We are going to be seeing some stronger winds. And you're right, it's all about that wind direction. You know, we had winds shift a little bit more northerly, and then now we're seeing that lower tide, so a little bit better. But then, you know, you're right, this evening, yet again, we're going to be going into another round of that high tide, and that's usually when we can see that flooding. So be curious to see how that plays out. We also have quite a few power outages here, too, you know, given the wind speed. And, you know, we were talking earlier, the trees, they're so dense still with all the leaves because, you know, they haven't fallen yet. I'm very excited to see the leaves fall. That's going, like, this Florida, like, that is, oh, I'm so excited. But, you know, I mean... Wait a minute. That's not a Florida thing? There's no change in the leaves? Is this all palm trees there? I was going to say, I guess I've seen some, you know, some palm tree fronds change from brown, you know, when they fall. But that's the extent of that. But, you know, unfortunately, with those dense leaves, you know, we are seeing some of those trees down. We got some local storm reports and some power outages across our area. Yeah, and to that point, when you have heavy rain, it just basically sticks to the leaves and the best way to think of it is, like, think about, like, oil just kind of sticks to something. So when you have all the leaves, then the trees become super top-heavy. And when they're really top-heavy and the ground is super saturated with all this rain that we've been getting, it's easier to huff and puff and blow a tree down. In other words, you wouldn't need winds as strong as you normally would because when you hit them, the trees with some of that wind, well, the roots can't anchor as much when the ground is just really like a sponge with water, which will continue to be over the night as both your area and our area here in the Philly area continue to get rounds of heavy rain, steady heavy rain, for hours and hours over the night. And then you add all those wet leaves and the winds blow, easy for some of those trees to come down, come down on those power lines and some of those power outages with, I imagine, a lot of Met Ed. A friend of mine works in the meteorology department, Met Ed, and they have a 24-7 meteorology department. For the Philly area, it's PECO, Philadelphia Electric Company, and I imagine it's the same deal with their meteorology department because this is pretty much what power companies dread, strong wind storms. That's what they don't want. They don't want the tree winds coming down on the power lines and, hey, listen, the wind stays strong into the night, so this is something we're going to see more of. There's going to be more power outages to come, both for the New York area and the Philly area. Yeah, I thought it was pretty wild on Long Island, which is, of course, going to be an area heavily impacted by this system, already is. We just got the report that 810 active outages, which is impacting 14,784 customers at this time. And we know, of course, those power crews are quick to get out on the road when it's safe enough to do so to restore the power. But it takes time, especially when we're talking about 810 outages on Long Island alone. And then, you know, you talk about New York, we have about 2,600 in Orange and Rockland County, so a little bit less there, but still some outages in Jersey. 18,000 from Jersey Central Power and Light, 18,000 customers out without power right now. You know, it was interesting when you said that they have to watch the weather conditions. In terms of a bucket truck, because a lot of times you see some of the utility workers go up to fix these issues with the bucket truck, there's a threshold. I was talking to the folks in the Philly area, so PICO, they pretty much said once the wind gusts are getting above 45, 50, they can't take the bucket trucks up. They just got to wait for the strong wind gusts to come down. So that's an issue that we have to look for, particularly in the New York area as we head into later in the night. You know, take a look at this right here. This is later into the night and into tomorrow afternoon, and that's when you're getting some of your strongest winds across the New York area. See those purples? Those are super, super strong wind gusts. And one of the things that I'm noticing is those swirls. That's the nor'easter just swirling around. The winds go opposite the way the clock goes. And look how the winds are just pushing water inland. So that looks like flooding would be a real concern on this part of Long Island. Stay around lunchtime tomorrow. Whereas at the Jersey Shore, for contrast, you see how those arrows are heading out to sea? That will quite literally push water out to sea. And the reason there's flooding across some of the shore points not too far from Philadelphia, like Atlanta County and Cape May County, is because the winds have been pushing the water inland, and it backs up through the streams. And it backs up truly through some of the, where you actually have water go into the ocean, the storm drains. And that's what leads to the flooding. We've had flooding down the shore, because that's what we say around these parts. We always say down the shore, if we're talking about a New Jersey beach. If it's in Delaware, we always say a Delaware beach. So down the shore at our New Jersey beach, you've been seeing flooding because of the wind direction pushing water kind of inward. Tomorrow afternoon, water's getting pushed out to the Jersey Shore. But just to go back, to show you around Long Island, and of course the rest of the New York area, the water's getting pushed in. And as you were mentioning, it kind of gives you the storm surge sort of vibe. Right. And especially we have those areas, of course, that flood, unfortunately, a bit easier than others. So, you know, that's something we'll be continuing to look for. We had one of our awesome reporters in, I believe she was in Brooklyn. Is that right? Where the kayakers were? Okay. In Highlands, New Jersey. Okay. Highlands. And, you know, they were kayaking around. And, you know, there was that much water. And they were having a good old time. I mean, not that it's recommended. But, you know, they were taking the advantage of getting out. Oh, there's the video. Awesome. I don't know if you can see that on your screen. But, you know, just getting around, you know. But look at that water. Look at that flooding. That's, you know, I mean, it's pretty substantial there. And you know what's crazy, Laura, when I look at that, is it's not from rain. Right. It's just more wind direction driven. And we've not had the rainfall amounts to do that. Now, later tonight, when the rain is steady and heavy, absolutely, that can bring some flash floodings across parts of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. But that's what's wild to me. You can get pictures like that on days it doesn't even rain. We've seen that down the shore in New Jersey. It just takes really strong winds coming in off the ocean. And that's the kind of flooding you can get. And this, you know, as you mentioned, this happens a good handful of times throughout the year. In the Jersey area, around Atlantic City, about ten times a year they get flooding just because of the winds being really strong, pushing water inland. It's just coming in that direction. So what? Where it just gets the water to back. So it's interesting how this all works. And all the different components of our weather, right? How nuanced everything is. Look at those waves right there. I mean, just, you know, very turned up. Definitely, I mean, as we mentioned, not a beach day. And we are in a current state of emergency in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester. Also, New Jersey is under eight. We have eight counties in New Jersey that are under a state of emergency. So, you know, we're seeing impacts from the storm widespread. And I think what's interesting to me, too, is how you mentioned, you know, those stronger winds even into tomorrow afternoon. This isn't really a short-lived system in the sense that, you know, in a couple hours we're going to see much improvement. We're going to see high tide later on this evening. And then even tomorrow, still, you know, feeling effects of this system. It's just, you know, why is the timing always got to be on a weekend? You know, like, why can't we have this during like a, you know, like a two... I know people want to get outside. We had some festivals in Central Park that were canceled, unfortunately. You know, they deemed it unsafe. You know, rightfully so. But, like, come on. Weekend. It's the weekend. Oh, my gosh. You know, this time of the year, so many fall things. So many community festivals. Yeah, same deal in the Philly area. So many things were canceled just because of lousy weather. Who wants to go out when you're not having a good weather day? That kind of deal. And you're right. Yeah, it doesn't have to happen on a weekend, but at the same time, it doesn't look easy. You don't have to deal with it driving to work. That's true. No one staying home from school. Yeah. That kind of deal. There's us that have to work on weekends. And then there's the lucky folks. Hopefully, you're at home watching us. And if you are just joining us, welcome into Newsroom Live. I'm meteorologist Lauren Freidler, based here in Upper East Side, New York City. And I am joined by Drew here. Drew, you're in Philly. How is Philly over there? Hey, we're doing good. Windy and wet, just like you guys. We've been keeping an eye on everything. And can I be Drew glass half full, except we'll do a water bottle half full, except I need to top it off. There are some benefits to all this rain. So, in New Jersey and Delaware, which is in our Philly area, it is really dry. There's been drought conditions. And they do have drought conditions. Despite getting inches of rain here and there from storms, it just hasn't really percolated into the ground. This will knock out the drought conditions, because we've had steady, persistent rain throughout the weekend. So, that's a plus. Next order of business, you and I were talking about the Lees and the beautiful show you're going to get across the New York area, New Jersey area, into the next couple of weeks. Particularly late October is when we get some of our peak fall color, both in Philadelphia and, I would imagine, probably mid-October, somewhere in that range. Well, anyway, when you have a lot of rain, not too much, but you want a good amount of rain toward the end of September, it helps the leaves stay on the trees longer. So, there's a plus right there, all right? Okay. I like that. That's a good one. Isn't that best, dear? Yeah. No, that's good. I like that. I feel like that's a positive thing. So, we'll take that. And, you know, as we head into fall, you know, somebody asked me the other day, too, it was actually on one of my social media posts, you know, I thought nor'easters only happen in the winter, and it's like, no, you know, they can happen, you know, September, clearly, you know, all the way through, you know, May. Like, it's not, it's the phenomenon, it's so funny, though, how you mentioned earlier about people think snow, and that is a common misconception that, you know, it has to be snowing, and it kind of feels like it should be snowing outside. I mean, honestly. I mean, this Florida blood is so thin, but, I mean, temperatures, yeah, they're kind of chilly out there in that cloud cover, that rain, but constant drizzles, winds, especially, not helping. I was walking to work, and I was a little bit chilly, I got to say, Drew. Oh, my gosh, the temps have just been stuck in the 50s here. You add the wind, you add the rain, you add the clouds, it's cold. You know, I walked in with a hoodie on, and I'm thinking, I actually needed a coat on top of my hoodie, just to give that context, and it's like, you know, for New Jersey and New York, it's the same deal. It is cold. You know, to me, it doesn't even feel like the beginning of fall. This feels more like spring, or maybe kind of fall. See, I don't know. This is like, this is not fall welcome for you, okay? Okay. We can do a better welcome to the area. Well, next week, I'll show you that seven days soon enough, but we are going to be in the mid-70s, and I was talking to one of our meteorologists here, Audrey Puente, and she was like, that's a more typical, you know, New York fall for us. It was mid-70s and sunny, and I'm like, oh, okay. So, you know, next week, we'll have something to look forward to, so if you're watching and you're like, okay, well, you know, it's gloomy out, kind of gross, when can we expect it to be nice? Just please hang in there. Hang in there, at least for, you know, the next week. Hey, we do have some viewer pictures that we want to get to show you. These are some very impressive pictures. This is from Chelsea. Tree fell in our yard this morning. Wow, because of the wind. Ooh, just missed the car parked, or other car parked behind it on the street. Fell right in between. Large tree, grateful nothing for damage. Definitely clear the lottery tonight, if that's your car. Right, right. That is crazy. Yeah, so this is from Barnegat. One branch holding the car in place, though, and it can't be moved. No one was hurt. Thank goodness. Thank goodness no one was hurt. That's Long Beach Island. If that's Barnegat, or Barnegat Light, somewhere around that area. Yes, yes. That's where I get from Ocean County. Yes, that is wild to see. We have that QR code on the corner of your screen, too. It's in the upper right-hand corner right now, but if you have any pictures, videos that you want to share, or any comments, please send them our way. We also have this, a tree down on Delaware Avenue, making road impassable. That's also a huge tree, and of course, caused power outages. That is in Bayshore from John. Thank you, John, for sharing that with us. But look, you can even see in the corner of your screen, ooh, ooh, some flooding there. Jones Beach. Some videos from Jones Beach, as well as local flooding there. Oh, my goodness, that is not something you would want to drive through. Hopefully, folks are able just to kind of stay home. Oh, cute puppy. Aw, look at that puppy. The pup's like, what is going on here? I don't know if that's waterfront property, but I don't know what's going on there. Tim, that is a great picture. Love seeing all the pictures. It also gives us a feel for what conditions are like, and how they're different across the area. You imagine right at the shore, yeah, we're going to see flooding, but we're still getting down trees and down power lines as we move inland across New Jersey and New York, and here in the Philly area, as well. It's just something that's going to happen with these strong wind gusts. You brought it up earlier, saying, hey, we've got the leaves on the trees, the rain hits that, the ground's just all wet, so it's harder for those trees to anchor. Hence, the reason we're seeing those huge trees down in some of those pictures. Right, and you mentioned about the fall festivals, there's so many fall activities going on. Yeah, this is the first weekend, officially, of fall, right? You know what? Maybe we don't remind anyone of that, all right? Maybe we'll sweep that one under the rug, all right? Let's let that one go. What a start. No, no. We just got to get it over with, and we'll get the nice, pleasant weather and the pretty trees. So, yeah, it's all good. Well, I'll tell you what. Let's flip the script here. So, just like with you, the weather is great for the start of October. Let's not worry about the start of fall for the first fall weekend. Let's just worry how beautiful the weather is at the beginning of October, because here down in Philly, we're getting the same weather you guys are getting. We have beautiful, sunny skies, and our temperatures are high. It's 10 degrees above average once we roll into October. So, just like with you, we've got the light at the end of the tunnel, okay? Yeah. It's not going to be that bad, and I do want to see rainfall at maximum. Okay. So, yeah, looking at our radar here, hey, we are noticing some breaks. Actually, you guys, I feel like, are seeing more rainfall. It's starting to move out of the way there in Philly, more so than us here in the city. But, you know, we are seeing those rounds of rainfall, but I feel like the prominent factor here isn't exactly the rain. Like we mentioned, you know, that storm surge and that flooding that we're seeing across areas, and of course, those gusty winds that are pulling down those trees and pulling down power lines along with it. So, you know, radar really doesn't look too bad right now. Of course, it's not picture-perfect day, you know, by any means, but it's not terrible looking out there right now. We are seeing some improvement in some spots across our area, and I think I can pull up here our next, let's see what's going to happen. Yeah. It's a similar story, right? Yeah. We're going to see steadier rains on its way out. It's going to be out of most spots here shortly. It's fairly dry around the New York area for now, and even in the Philly area, then we just tend to see some passing showers, rounds of passing showers as the evening goes on, not the steady rain until later tonight. Now, after midnight, more so you're getting toward early Sunday morning, that is when the rain really gets steady across New York, New Jersey, Philly, and Delaware, and really comes down heavy. We're talking a couple inches of rain, aren't we? Yeah. I mean, look at that. I mean, as it continues just to churn out there in the Atlantic, and you're right, we're going to see more impacts from that. We also, I was just looking at the National Weather Service map that shows all the watches, warnings, advisories, all the things. Oh, yeah. Oh, my goodness, that map is quite colorful. We have lots of things in place, anything from, I mean, I still have it up here, but on my computer, but a high wind warning in spots, a storm warning, flood warnings, coastal flood warnings, gale warnings, flood advisory, high surf advisory. I could go on. But here's a map of those coastal flood advisories, watches, and warnings that are taking place along our coastline. Look at that. I mean, our coastline definitely taking a beating, and they were smart to issue that coastal flood advisory, warnings, watches. This is through Sunday, so through tomorrow, as we are seeing those high tides this evening, and then seeing that chance for rainfall increase as we go throughout the evening as well. Tell you something interesting about the Philly area, so our big river here is the Delaware River. You come around Philly, you're going to go over the Delaware River, and it's actually affected by the tides, and you'd be surprised how far up the river, I'm talking a river, the tides affect things. So, for our coastal flood warning that we have, it also includes the Philly area and the Delaware River, more than just down the shore, just because the tides affect how high the water is. We've gotten flooding in Philly, same sort of deal. On dates, it's not even rainy, because the way the wind direction comes up the Delaware River, say, from the south, it pushes the water up, and it just kind of floods right actually in downtown Philly by the Ben Franklin Bridge, one of our many bridges over the Delaware River, which connects New Jersey and Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. So, that's one of the things I thought was really interesting when I looked at all those different alerts from the National Weather Service, you know, stressing about flooding issues and the wind issues, is how it's more than just strictly right at the ocean. Yeah. No, it's been wild to watch. I mean, all those warnings come in, and just how this has played out. And I want to talk about the models for a second, because I want to get your take on this. You know, our weather team, of course, has been watching the models throughout the week trying to get a picture of what this is doing. And, you know, Euromodel, you know, we look at the GFS, the American model, the European model. European model, I feel like, has done a pretty good job with this, you know, and then it took a little bit for the GFS to catch up. Is that typical, do you find, in northeast where we store? Okay. Yes. You have just got your training for when we have a big snowstorm. Okay. It takes time for the American future radar to get on board that GFS model you talked about. The Euro usually kind of picks up on it, and one of the things that I've noticed, and I'm sure you've seen this with tropical weather for sure down in Florida. Once the Euro is persistent on something, it's your deal, right? Yeah. And that's kind of what it's been for the week, right? Yeah. I mean, we were looking run after run after run, and, you know, we're still like, okay, you know, there's still contrast between the models, but then you looked at the European and it was pretty consistent with, you know, having this come ashore and, you know, just making its way across the northeast. So, you know, I mean, it has been interesting to watch, especially, again, you know, I've tracked quite a few hurricanes, tropical systems, and, you know, it's the same deal in the sense of, you have to look at all the models and they'll eventually come together, but, you know, usually, you know, they're very different at times. So, it's been interesting to watch as a native Floridian. Yeah. Speaking of which, did you go to school at Florida State University? Yeah. So, I went online. Yeah. I was further down south. What a great meteorology school, right? They are known for the tropical weather coverage. So, anytime there's anything coming up the coast, you're the go-to person, the Fox 5 weather center. You know, I love tracking. I mean, I was saying earlier in the week. So, Hurricane Jean happened, you know, when I was in kindergarten, and that's what got my love into weather. It kind of terrified me. You know, we came home from the hurricane shelter. We had hurricane damage, and this was in Palm Beach County, and, you know, I started job shadowing my local meteorologist in middle school, and I was like, this is exactly what I want to do. But you know how it is. There's always a weather bug. There's a weather story. I hope there's some kid watching today going, you know what, I want to be a meteorologist one day. You can do it. Oh, my gosh. And there's so many more opportunities than when we were growing up. You know, when I was going to school, I went to school at Penn State. Because, you know, I'm a Pennsylvania kind of guy. I'm in Philly, after all. So, I thought, all right, you go to the National Weather Service, or you go on TV. Oh, my gosh. There are so many more jobs. We were talking about my friend, who's one of the meteorologists for Con Edison. So, there are so many jobs in the power field. Candidate companies, like the folks that make Snickers. Yes. M&M. What aren't these bars? Yes. They need meteorologists for long-term forecasting, and all these different places you wouldn't even think about use meteorologists to help make better business decisions. So, there's so many opportunities for anyone who's into the weather to work with the weather. And you don't have to be on TV. I'm just saying. I'm so, so glad you mentioned that. Because, when I do my school presentations, I always mention, you know, M&M's, the chocolate candies. You know, they hire meteorologists, you know, for the cocoa fields. And there's just so many opportunities within the field of meteorology. And, you know, blessed to be a part of it, of course, as we're tracking today's Nor'easter, this weekend's Nor'easter, rather, because, you know, impact's going to be fast. All weekend. But, yeah, yeah. I mean, not the prettiest of weekends, but we're glad you're joining us here on Newsroom Live as we're talking about the impacts. And, hopefully, everyone's faring well with this. Again, you know, we had those gusty winds. We had that storm surge and overcast skies. Yeah. I'll tell you what has been really interesting is, down here, we've had so many closed roads. Let me just show you this. So, I've been looking at the wet roads, but I also do traffic down here. I'll fill in on traffic. And one of the things that I've noticed is how many closed roads we have down the shore. So, I'll give you a feel for that because it really shows up when we're talking about Atlantic City and the Wildwoods. So, this is Atlantic City. You know, big resort area. There's only one way in and out right now. Usually, there's multiple ways. 30, 40, all closed because of flooding. Closed as well. And then, you go down south and look at the Wildwoods. Two out of three ways to get into the Wildwood beaches totally closed because of flooding right now. Wow. Only one way out. So, those are just some of the impacts that we're dealing with from some of the flooding across our Jersey beaches that are a little more south than you guys. Yeah. I am curious to see if, you know, we'll see that water receding up where they reopen them or, you know, now that we're in low tide. Or, will they just keep them closed for the duration in the sense that, you know, of course, the water is unfortunately going to rise again. Right. This evening after dinner time. Yeah, you're right about that. That's actually a great question. We have a reporter down there. When we get done with our show, I'll ask her and I'll shoot you a text. I'll let you know. Yeah, that would be awesome. You're probably thinking the same thing I'm thinking. I would imagine they're going to stay closed throughout the rest of the day. Yeah, it might be a smart move just to be on the safe side. Hey, we have to take a quick break. We want to thank you so much for joining us. This is meteorologist Drew Anderson.
