Tuckerton Beach Residents!

On May 12, 2008, a surprize Spring Northeaster hit the New Jersey coast.  As a result the beach area flooded about two feet at the high tides at approxitely 3:30 AM, and again at about 3:30 PM.  Winds were gusting over 50 MPH from the NE, and the water stayed high most of the day. 

Damage was minor with about 4 cars being flooded out.  One window was reported damaged by flying debris, and debris covered the streets.  The vast majority of homes that have been raised suffered little or no damage.

Owners should visit and check their homes as soon as possible.  If this is not possible, it would be wise to contact a friend or neighbor who lives here year round and ask them to check your property for you. 

Hopefully your property survived the storm.  But, don’t forget, Hurricane Season begins on June 1, 2008.
