This is a very unfortunate weather combination a " NorthEaster" (a strong storm that lasts for several days) combined with a hurricane the latter peak effect lasts for maybe 8 hrs??
this could easily last a day in one area, they expect the highest tide ever recorded at Sandy Hook NJ for you folks down under that is a point of land that is only about 10 miles or so
that sticks out in the bay south of New York city at this point Washington, New York and Philadelphia are shut down no trains buses airports closed martin
