As of Tuesday afternoon, May 13, sections of Ocean Drive in Sea Isle City remained closed due to a late-season northeast storm, which tore through the county Monday.
The storm caused flooding, erosion, downed trees, extensive power outages and scattered debris throughout the county, but with mild, sunny skies Tuesday morning, most of the cleanup was well under way by the afternoon.
A press release from Cape May County spokeswoman Lenora Bonifante stated that Landis Avenue, or Beach Drive in Sea Isle City, was closed from 38th Street to 30th Street due to flooding, and from 1st to 8th Street in the north end because the dune was overwashed by strong ocean waves.
She said the sections were expected to be closed until about 4 p.m.
