The prospect of tidal flooding from the ongoing nor'easter has
prompted the Manasquan Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to ask
residents on the following streets to move their vehicles to higher
ground:
Main Street east of Lockwood, including Sims, Pershing, Pearce and Meadow; Second, Third and Fourth avenues; Brielle Road, Deep Creek Drive, Captains Court, and Long Avenue; Riddle, Tarpon and Pompano Avenue; areas within one block of the Glimmer Glass and Watson's Creek, including all of River, Holly, Watson and Perrine, as well as areas next to Stockton Lake.
The OEM said widespread minor coastal flooding occurred with this evening's high tide, and the Tuesday morning high tide is forecast to run up to one foot higher.
High tide at the Manasquan inlet is at 5 a.m.
Residents should anticipate street flooding at least 3 hours before and after the times of high tide, the OEM said.
Also, Main Street and Brielle Road may become impassable.
Officials caution against driving through flooded roads or around police barricades. Conditions permitting, drivers should use First Avenue and the Ocean Avenue Bridge for access off of beach areas.
The OEM recommends staying tuned to 1620AM, or local media and internet outlets for updates and advisories, watches or warnings from the National Weather Service.
