New Jersey flooding and shark sighting
Overview
A violent nor’easter storm caused significant flooding and severe weather across New Jersey. In Surf City on Long Beach Island, storm surges caused Barnegat Bay to overflow, inundating residential areas with up to four feet of water.
The flooding led to a viral incident where a shark was filmed swimming through flooded streets near a driveway. Dr. Greg Skomal from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries identified the animal as a smooth dogfish (Mustelus canis), noting the species is common in the area and “harmless to humans as it lacks sharp teeth.”
Beyond the shark sighting, the storm impacted local events, such as a wedding in Red Bank that was nearly canceled due to heavy rain and wind before being relocated to a fitness facility.
