Storms A Comin’
unless you live under a rock you know the first noreaster of the winter season is headed this way. We have some irregular higher tides due to the full moon. Coastal flooding will be an issue. Not to mention a solid day of an easterly blow will push a lot of water into the inland bays. You all know the drill, it is a typical noreaster.
Make sure trash cans etc are secured outside for wind and flooding. Stay out of flood waters it is usually salt water. Tomorrow morning you will wake up to these conditions. If you plan to drive onto a beach for some crazy reason, keep an eye on the tide.
