Hurricane Irene made its second landfall, this one early Sunday in
southern New Jersey, as the storm continued its relentless push toward New
York City.
.
Though the storm weakened as it moved up the Eastern Seaboard, it
continued to funnel storm surge and floodwater to the Jersey Shore
overnight, where the National Hurricane Center said the center of the
storm crossed over land near Little Egg Inlet, north of Atlantic City,
around 5:35 a.m. The storms maximum sustained winds are estimated to be 75
miles per hour, making it a weak category one hurricane.
.
The hurricane first came ashore Saturday morning near Cape Lookout, N.C.,
then slipped back over water farther north near Virginia and Maryland
before hitting land again in New Jersey.
.
New York was the next major city in the hurricanes path, and for much of
the night, the metropolitian area was pounded with heavy rain and wind,
causing power failures and flooding.
.
While New York had all but closed down in anticipation of what forecasters
warned could be violent winds with the force to drive a wall of water over
the beaches in the Rockaways and between the skyscrapers of Lower
Manhattan, as of early Sunday morning, all bridges and tunnels remained
open, with the exception of the lower level of the George Washington
Bridge because of high winds, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey.
.
Forecasters said the relentless rain from the slow-moving storm made it
very dangerous.
.
Even though they are saying that the storm is quote-unquote weakening,
hurricane winds are hurricane winds, John Searing, the deputy commissioner
of the Suffolk County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services,
said before daybreak Sunday as he prepared to deal with the damage.
Whether they say its 80 miles or 75 miles an hour, whats the physical
difference in that?
.
City officials warned that a big problem could be flooding at high tide,
at about 8 a.m. Sunday before the storm has moved on and the wind has
slacked off. The storm is expected to pass through by Sunday afternoon,
moving into southern New England.
