A Message from The City of Asbury Park
October 29, 2012 10:30am
The City of Asbury Park Office of Emergency Management officials are
asking residents and consumers to stay inside during the storm.
All Businesses should be closed by NOON TODAY at the latest.
CAUTION: There are power lines down in our area - please stay clear of
any power lines you encounter and report them to authorities.
A MANDATORY Evacuation Plan for anyone in a low lying flood prone area
has been in effect since 9:00pm Sunday. If you are leaving the city it is
strongly recommended that you evacuate by noon today as road closures and
travel may become difficult later in the day as the storm worsens.
THE WEATHER A historic and damaging coastal storm/Hurricane Sandy will be
impacting our area today through Tuesday.
All computer forecast guidance indicates that Sandy will make landfall in
New Jersey from the due east somewhere between central Ocean County and
New York Harbor on Monday evening.
This storm will have higher winds and a much higher degree of coastal
flooding than was experienced with Hurricane Irene a year ago.
Coastal flood guidance is indicating a record high tide in Monmouth and
Ocean Counties on Monday evening. At Sandy Hook, tidal records date back to
the 1940s and the forecast for the Monday evening high tide is 1 to 2 feet
higher than the record high tide from Hurricane Donna in 1960. Further
south along the NJ coast, coastal flooding will be major but perhaps not
record
setting because winds may back to offshore just prior to the Monday
evening high tide.
The storm is forecast to make landfall with a minimum central pressure of
between 947mb and 954mb. It is worth noting that the records for lowest
barometric pressure is all locations in New Jersey is in the upper 950s to
low 960s. A pressure of 950mb equates to 28.05 inches.....on some home
barometers the reading does not go that low and in the ones that do, the
needle
will be pointing downward.
Rain will begin throughout the area Sunday evening and continue into
Tuesday. Rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches are likely.
Northeast are currently on the increase. By Monday morning, northeast
winds will be 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 50mph. During the day on Monday winds
will gust to between 60 mph and 80 mph along the coast and 50 mph to 70
mph inland. Winds will subside for a time on Monday evening before increasing
again from the south and southwest. Winds will gradually decrease on
Tuesday as the storm moves slowly inland.
These high winds will result in tree damage and widespread power outages
throughout the area. Because Sandy will be affecting a large area of the
northeast, power outages could be lengthy.
Coastal flooding continues to be a big concern. The Sunday evening high
tide will see minor coastal flooding. The Monday morning high tide will have
moderate coastal flooding. It is the Monday evening high tide around 8:00
p.m. that is forecast to be record setting in many areas. As Sandy moves
from east to west into the shoreline, the onshore flow will result in tides
of 6 to 8 feet above normal on Monday evening
There is the likelihood for major damage or destruction of boardwalks,
piers, pavilions or any structure right on the immediate coast. Flooding in
back bays will likely exceed all historical flooding benchmarks. All storm
drainage systems will be ineffective in discharging rainwater due to the
high tides and many or all coastal lakes will overflow. Sand will be deposited
hundreds of feet inland from wind and wave action.
>From a coastal flooding aspect, this situation can not be compared to any
other storm. This is an unprecedented scenario. Heed the directions and
advise from your local emergency management office.
