Storm tide forecast for Atlantic City, NJ is 9-10 feet.
Storm tide forecast for Cape May, NJ is 9-10 feet.

• Inland Flooding: Significant urban and small stream flooding is possible, which could linger into Tuesday. RIver flooding is possible.

2. West Virginia isn't even listed

but we're in the Baltimore-Washington metro area so it looks like we'll be getting wind and rain.

I'm closest to Port Jeff - but not too close and on higher ground.) We launch our boat from Part Jeff. (In-law's boat, actually.)

I'm worried about my 3 giant old trees.
