📰 News we're reading

• Nor'easter ranked 2nd to Sandy for flooding height at Jersey Shore, experts say (nj.com subscription) — Ship Bottom saw major flooding during this weekend's powerful nor'easter, which brought repeated high-tide inundation up and down the Jersey Shore and ranked second only to Sandy for overall water levels. Experts say multiple days of onshore winds, a full moon, and tightly packed bays combined to push water into coastal communities, with some gauges nearly matching Sandy-era heights.
