Southern NJ will be the landfall

Around Cape May and up the Delaware Bay. NYC and Atlantic City are getting most of the big media stories, but this area will be horribly flooded and houses will probably be lost. In addition, many people along that coast make their living from the Ocean and Bay and from tourists.

Also, the Bay leads to Philadelphia, with refineries. Bad news.

It'll come right over the Promenade there, and flood the whole entire bay coast.

The only good thing is, the Coast Guard is there already!

4. I hope your house ends up weathering the storm as best as can be expected.

Cape May is such a lovely, historic little town. It would be so sad to see any of those old buildings destroyed. I am watching coverage of the storm right on ABC news reporting from Southern NJ right now and it looks pretty bad.
