From NJ.com's continuously updated storm watch:
1:50 p.m. The most-affected regions of Hurricane Sandy along the New Jersey coast are about to take another hit. With defenses already weakened, coastal communities could see major impacts from coastal flooding, with the worst coming Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
"I'm really worried about the areas worst hit by Sandy," said NWS meteorologist Gary Szatkowski. "Time is starting to work against us...We could see substantial beach erosion. I know people have been working hard, but there's less to erode. We could easily see waves and water coming into areas you typically wouldn't."
Szatkowski said he is concerned about the Raritan Bay shore in particular, where a three foot storm surge is possible at high tide Saturday morning, with five to seven foot waves breaking over top of it.
Let's hope things don't get too bad. If they do, though, be there for your friends and neighbors again.
This all made me think of one of the songs that Steve Earle did with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band as part of the On The Beach concert earlier this year. Here they are doing "This City" at New York's City Winery:
