New Jersey shore communities are on high alert as Hurricane Debby threatens to impact the area later this week. The hurricane, currently moving up from Florida, could bring heavy rainfall and flash flooding to the Jersey shore. However, forecasters are uncertain whether Debby will turn out to sea as it heads north or continue along the coast.
This warning comes in the wake of recent storms that caused power outages and flooding in some Jersey shore communities. Officials in Point Pleasant Beach are particularly concerned, as a sandbar has formed at the Manasquan Inlet due to the weekend storms. They are closely monitoring the situation as the potential for further weather disturbances looms.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts and to prepare for possible severe weather conditions. The exact trajectory and impact of Hurricane Debby remain uncertain, but officials are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of their communities.
