Monday’s northeast storm, May 12, brought high winds and heavy rain to the area, and beach erosion and some tidal flooding was reported.
The operation of the Cape May Lewis Ferry was suspended at least for the day.
“We have 40-knot winds and seas of six to eight feet, so we aren’t running,” said Jim Salmon, the spokesman for the Delaware River and Bay Authority, which operates the ferry.
He said Monday that they expected to be back in operation for the morning run 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 13, but he said those planning to travel should check on conditions first, either by calling 1-(800) 64-FERRY or seeing the Web site at www.cmlf.com.
In Cape May, city manager Luciano Corea said the storm was causing beach erosion and flooding in some low lying areas, but that as of late Monday morning there had been no major problems reported.
He said he heard of one tree that had blown down.
