Jersey Shore towns hit with flooding during first high tide of nor’easter

UPDATED FORECAST: Nor’easter to batter state into Monday with high winds, flooding at high tides.

Some Jersey Shore towns are starting to see flooding thanks to the nor’easter that began lashing the state Sunday morning.

Streets in Avalon and Brigantine began flooding on Sunday, according to social media posts, as the Jersey Shore experienced a high tide.

Video and photos shared with NJ Advance Media by Andrew DeMalo showed water surging over docks at 23rd Street in Avalon on Sunday afternoon as kayakers paddled through flooded roads.

“Moderate to major coastal flood impacts remain likely,” the National Weather Service said in a storm update Sunday morning. “Widespread roadway flooding and impassable roads, significant inundation of structures, and evacuations are possible.”
