Jersey shore residents are cleaning up and snow is not the issue and instead theyre dealing with damage from floods that some homeowners say were worse than those seen during super storm sandy. Jacob rascon is there to show us some of the effects. Reporter a lot of them will find incredible damage. At this home behind me, three docks floated hundreds of feet and landed on the driveway. There is another driveway with a boat on it and then from above you are able to see through this drone video that the sea wall crumbled and needs a total remake. Thats what collapsed and allowed the bay to flood this area. Hundreds of homes were surrounded. At the peak there were five to six feet of water. We toured the area yesterday when the water had gone down a little bit with the mayor and saw home after home. A lot of them, of course, built up higher anticipating flooding, but many of them, in fact the mayor says probably around 100 have water that actually got inside. As you know, a lot of the jersey shore saw a little bit of flooding, usually light to moderate, but here on the southern tip they really got it hard. The people who live here say this for them is a lot worse than sandy and, in fact, is the worst theyve probably ever seen. The governor, of course, is back on the campaign trail, but the lieutenant governor, we are told will be out surveying the damage, though its unclear if shell make it this far. Jacob rascon, nbc news, west wildwood, new jersey. Doctors always see an increase to shoveling with the first winter snowfall of the winter season. People overexert themselves and they dont use proper form when shoveling snow. Bend at the legs when shoveling and not at the back so you dont strain your muscles. I think what people dont recognize is that shoveling snow especially in the cold actually increases the heart rate and Blood Pressure far more than people realize. Its not the same as running because youre stationary, but the actual sudden rise in Blood Pressure can actually be dangerous to people who have heart conditions that they knew about and sometimes people who had underlying heart conditions that have not yet come to attention. The philadelphia area doctors tell us they often see an increase in emergency room visits during the winter. Most of thosed ha visits are du slip and fall injuries. Aaa will keep you safe on the roads. See and be seen. Clean off your vehicle completely and make sure your headlights, taillights and turn signals are working and start your engine and let your car run to make sure your battery is good to go. Pack an emergency kit with you and watch out for icy spots on bridge e ra bridges, ramps and highways and keep your distance between you and the driver in front of you.
