So far, the barrier islands are underwater, as expected. They are less than a foot above sea level. Atlantic City is flooded.
Thanks!

Zones can seem arbitrary unless you're paying attention to water levels. I'm one block away from an evacuated area myself, but there's a reason they don't expect flooding on my block.
It's likely, however, that my electricity might die while I'm in the middle of posting on this board. I just got a call from Con Ed preparing me for that if they determine there will be flooded power centers.
My UPS will ensure that that one post survives, but if I go dark in the middle of a conversation, that will be why.
Just heard a bracing crash outside and shattering glass. That's in advance of the brunt of the storm, which will hit my area about an hour and a half. I won't be napping, as my bed's near a window. Interesting times, these.
