Hurricane Erin Brings Massive Waves and Flooding to North Wildwood, New Jersey
North Wildwood, New Jersey – Residents and visitors gathered along the boardwalk in North Wildwood on August 21st to witness the powerful impact of Hurricane Erin. The storm brought exceptionally high tides and large waves that crashed over the coastal barriers, drenching onlookers. Footage from the scene shows significant ocean swells inundating parts of the boardwalk, with several individuals, including families with young children, standing close to the surging water. While many appeared to be observing the spectacle, the powerful waves created hazardous conditions. Beyond the immediate coastline, the hurricane's effects extended inland, causing widespread street flooding in residential areas and at the local marina. Roads were submerged, and the marina area was visibly inundated, demonstrating the extensive reach of the storm's waters. Authorities had previously issued warnings regarding the dangerous conditions associated with Hurricane Erin.
