ノーイースターが東海岸を襲う：ニュージャージー州が非常事態宣言｜沿岸部の洪水と強風
Nor Easter brings emergency measures to New Jersey, coastal flooding, and travel disruptions. A powerful Nor Easter storm is wreaking havoc along the East Coast, particularly in New Jersey, where emergency measures have been put in place. The storm, which brought heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding prompted the state to declare a state of emergency on Saturday night with the order expected to continue through Monday. This decision allows emergency services to mobilize as needed. The National Weather Services Bob Orave highlighted the coastal flooding risk especially for areas from North Carolina to New Jersey. He also noted heavy rain forecasts for New England, New York City, and coastal sections further down the coast. In North Carolina’s Outer Banks, where storm damage is common, ocean water was already encroaching on Highway 12 near Buckston, prompting the Dare County Sheriff’s Office to urge caution and alert property owners. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, faced road closures due to heavy rain overwhelming the storm water system. The city’s officials advised residents to stay home for safety. Meanwhile, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman declared a state of emergency on Long Island due to the potential for high ocean waves to inundate bays and waterways. The storm’s impact is expected to be severe with moderate to major coastal flooding, inland flash flooding, winds up to 60 mph, heavy rain up to 5 in, and high surf potentially causing beach erosion. Volunteers are even placing sandbags on beaches to mitigate the damage. The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood warning and wind advisory for New York City, Long Island, and southern Westchester County, predicting up to 3 in of rain and strong winds. As of Sunday morning, wind gusts exceeding 30 mph were recorded in the region. Utilities have deployed over 1,600 workers to address the storm’s impact. New York Governor Kathy Hokll emphasized the importance of staying alert and prepared due to the high winds and flood risks. The storm’s effects have already caused flight delays and cancellations from Washington DC to Boston. The storm is anticipated to move out by Monday night, but high wind warnings remain in effect in parts of Alaska as the remnants of Typhoon Halong continue to move up the state’s west coast, tracking farther east than initially predicted, which reduces the risk of record high water levels in the Norton Sound.
