BerichtNor’easter Cuts Off Hatteras Island as Jersey Shore Homes FloodGeschreven 27 september 2026 om 02:42 UTCKijkenTranscript0:11Ocean overwash has cut Hatteras Island off from mainland road access.0:15About 500 feet of Highway 12 pavement is damaged.0:18While floodwater has entered homes farther north in New Jersey, crews are preparing0:22another way in.0:23When can people reach Hatteras by road again, and what can carry emergency supplies0:28until then?0:28The Highway 12 closure runs across Pea Island from the Mark Basnight Bridge to0:32Rodanthe.0:33It began Thursday, September 24th after a dune breach and ocean overwash.0:38Another round hit Saturday.0:39Transportation crews reported about 500 feet of pavement damaged near the Pea Island0:44Visitor Center.0:45There is no road route into or out of Hatteras Island, though travel between its0:49villages remained possible.0:50Highway 12 was also closed on northern Okra Coke, between the Pony Pens and Ferry0:55Terminal.0:56Mainland ferries to Okra Coke resumed Saturday, but the Hatteras-Ochracoke ferry1:00remained suspended in the latest checked reports.1:03Dare County declared a Hatteras Island emergency effective at 7 Saturday evening.1:07Losing the road complicates travel and the movement of emergency workers and1:11essential supplies.1:12An emergency ferry between Stumpy Point and Rodanthe was in final preparation, not1:17confirmed to be running.1:18Road crews were assessing the damage with no verified reopening date.1:22Water was already entering some surf city homes by Friday night.1:25Streets flooded there and in Manasquan and Seabright.1:28Saturday reports described submerged vehicles and rescues in Seabright, including a1:33woman and her dog taken from a vehicle in flood water.1:36A boat also carried people from a flooded home.1:39Part of low-lying Manasquan was under a voluntary evacuation notice, not a1:43borough-wide mandatory departure.1:45For residents deciding whether to leave, the next high tide could make a road1:49impassable even after an earlier tide receded.1:52A preliminary weather service list recorded a 74 mile-an-hour gust in Surf City at1:561144 Friday night.1:58The reading came from a public source, and the list cautioned that not every2:01observation was official.2:02It exceeds the widely cited coastal forecast of gusts up to 60 miles an hour, but it2:07is one local reading, not a regional peak.2:09Seabright Mayor Brian Kelly had warned some streets might see six feet of water or2:13about 1.8 meters.2:15That was a projection, not a measured flood depth.2:17More than 119,000 homes and businesses across the northeast were without electricity2:22at an earlier point Saturday.2:24At 1.07 p.m.2:25Eastern, more than 88,000 customers remained without power across New Jersey,2:29Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania.2:31Those are snapshots from different times and geographic groupings, not a final storm2:35total.2:36A utility customer may be a household or business, not one individual person.2:40New York and New Jersey declared storm emergencies Friday, September 25.2:45New Jersey's order took effect at 5 that evening and covered Atlantic, Burlington,2:49Cape May, Cumberland, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Salem counties.2:54New York's covered the five New York City boroughs, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester2:58counties, plus contiguous counties.3:00Its order runs through October 25, that is the declaration's term, not a forecast3:05that the storm will last that long.3:07The exposure extends well beyond the flooded streets.3:10One account put more than 30 million people under flood alerts.3:14Another described a roughly 900-mile corridor from the Outer Banks to Maine.3:18Alert tallies differ by whether they count coastal flood warnings, broader3:21advisories, or wind alerts.3:23The mileage describes geography.3:25It is not the length of one identified weather service warning.3:28Dangerous coastal flooding was forecast particularly near New Jersey and Delaware,3:32with repeated high tides threatening further inundation and erosion after the first3:36water receded.3:37Friday forecasts called for gusts up to 60 miles an hour on the New Jersey and3:41Delaware coasts and in southern Massachusetts, 50 to 60 on Long Island and 60 to 653:46around Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket.3:49Rain forecasts differed, 1 to 3 inches in one outlook, 2 to 4 in another, both3:54allowing isolated totals near 6.3:56A more aggressive outlook raised the possibility of 80 mile an hour gusts, and as4:00much as 8 inches of rain around Long Island and the Jersey shore.4:03Those were possibilities, not observed totals or a region-wide settled forecast.4:07One early forecast put beach waves at 12 to 14 feet and offshore waves at 25 feet.4:12but no numerical wave observation was independently verified.4:15Forecasters expected the most dangerous coastal flooding around Saturday's morning4:19or evening high tides, with further tide cycles through Sunday.4:23The slow-moving storm could linger near Long Island into Monday morning.4:26Onshore wind and repeated tides threatened more flooding, erosion, fallen trees and4:31outages.4:31Warnings that some outages might last days were forecasts, not confirmed restoration4:36schedules.4:37Travel disruption had already spread beyond the roads.4:39More than 200 flights to or from Boston, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and New York4:44airports were canceled Friday.4:46A separate Saturday snapshot counted about 425 cancellations and 1,338 delays.4:51Those counts cover different days or reporting moments and should not be added4:55together.4:55Neither is a final total.4:57Ferries, concerts, and a baseball series were also disrupted.5:00The answer for Hatteras remains limited.5:02As of the latest checked reports, Highway 12 was still closed, the emergency Stumpy5:07Point Rodanthe ferry was being prepared rather than confirmed in service, and no5:12start time or road reopening date had been established.5:14Further high tides could impede repairs and the return home of people displaced by5:18flood water.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗Wie meldde watPunten die meer dan één medium meldde✓Nor’easter
