Nor'easter Storm Intensifies, Evacuation Order in Ocean County New Jersey, Election Day

A Nor'easter is forming now and will intensify off the Jersey coastline overnight. This classic, winter-like storm will impact on Wednesday with significant coastal flooding, strong winds and storm surge. Storm force winds up to 65 miles per hour are likely. This Nor'easter will batter an already beaten coastline where many towns have been left defenseless by Superstorm Sandy. In Philadelphia there is a High Wind Watch from Wed am to Thurs am. We can expect heavy rain and even some mixing of snow Wednesday night.

With the approaching Nor'easter, there is a mandatory evacuation for parts of Brick Township, in Ocean County New Jersey. Authorities have issued the evacuation for all residents who live in the low-lying, waterfront areas of the town.
The areas of Brick most prone to flooding or storm surge must evacuate by today at 6 p.m.

The evacuation order applies to those living in the following areas, but are not limited to:
Midstreams neighborhood East of Jordan Rd.
Area of Island Dr. in Cedarcroft
North & South Dr. (Metedeconk)
Princeton Ave. East of Beaver Dam Rd.
Cedarbridge Manor East of Lions Lane
Vanada Woods
Eagle Pass
Sandy Point
Tilton Rd
Cranberry Cove
Swan Point Park including Beaton and Gale Rd.
Baywood East of Pilot Dr. and Mandolay Dr.
Cherry Quay South of Tiller Lane
Sailors Quay off of Pleasant Dr., North Pier and South Sailors Quay
Waterfront Property in Mallard Point
Seaview Dr. & Seaview Ave in Seaview Village
Shore Acres
Seawood Harbor
Waterfront Property in Bay Harbor

Residents whose homes do not fall into the mandatory area that have been affected by Hurricane Sandy are strongly encouraged to evacuate. People are encouraged to seek shelter with friends and/or family who are in a safe location. Anyone who requires transportation to a shelter can contact the call center at 732-262-1234.

It is Election Day 2013. The polls opened at 6 in New Jersey and 7 in Pennsylvania. Early reports indicate a strong turnout with some polling places in New Jersey saying lines formed early this morning in the dark before the doors opened. The candidates are making their final push today trying to capture anyone undecided. Get to the polls and vote today. Every vote counts.

Sports
The Eagles start preparations for the Dallas Cowboys this weekend.

Weather
Mostly sunny this Election Day. 47 in Philadelphia.
