Friday+the+13th+Storm+of+2009

=media type="youtube" key="5JLQ0JA4m9s" height="344" width="425"= = = =Taken from youtube.= =Cause? The Nor' Eastern storm was caused by the last remnants of a tropical storm called Ida. After it was formed the Nor' Eastern went up the East coast towards the Jersey shore. When it arrived it caused alot of damage by flooding, power outage, and flooded buildings. Hurricane Ida was a storm that had killed 6 people in the coastal area's. When it was going on it was a category one. Ida was also traveling between Louisiana and Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. When it was over the seas it was also heading towards oil fields and causing more damage and more deaths to people. Nor' Eastern went all across the east coast causing more floods and more destruction to the environment and making many people basements be underwater.= = = =Effects? this storm was very intense,this disasteris storm flooded streets,consumed stretches of beach and even flooded peoples homes,also there was lots of rain and persistent wind, many people said that the water destroyed many of the dunes on the beach,and now there is simply just a cliff left over,even some homes wiring was exposed under there houses from the the water eroding away at the ground,the winds were so bad,people had to remove sand from the beaches off the boardwalk with tractors= = = =**Pictures, video, etc...**=
 * Backround: It was on the East Coast effecting places like Ocean City, LBI (Long Beach Island) and many other parts of Jersey. The wind and waves were strong along the New Jersey shore, but the rain was not as heavy as predicted. The storm peaked in New Jersey by midmorning. This major flooding was the remnants of tropical storm Ida, so although it in itself was not a tropical storm in happened because of one. Further north along the Maryland/Delaware eastern shore, this has also been a remarkable storm. Heavy beach erosion and flooding have been reported. One of the biggest problems with this storm is that no one was warned to evacuate or flee the area, it just caught everyone by surprise. Although, after the storm occured that is when people began evacuting, but not many people did, in fact only 57 people evacuated their homes.**
