I live in Southern NJ about 40 miles inland from Long Beach Island. We're expecting 5-10 inches of rain and sustained winds up to 60mph. The folks here are dangerously complacent as we haven't had such a storm in over 50 years. My wife and I just finished visiting all 55 houses in our development urging our neighbors to secure outdoor furniture, umbrellas, toys etc. No one here seems to realize the dangerous posed by these items if they become airborne.

The Southern NJ barrier Islands will be devastated if this storm tracks as predicted.

Hope y’all get through it ok.

I’m in northern New Jersey (Summit area), and my sense is that the dangers related to wind and high surf are probably a bit exaggerated (storm is more likely to track to the east, and will probably not even be a hurricane by the time it reaches here) . . . but the 5-10 inches of rain is a very serious concern all over this area. We’ve had a lot of rain in recent days, and inland river/stream flooding is the biggest threat here.
