  "account": "A nor'easter is causing severe flooding and strong winds on the Jersey Shore, with several roads closed in North Wildwood and other areas. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill declared a state of emergency for eight counties as the powerful storm moves into the region, according to abc7ny.com. The declaration activates the State Emergency Operations Center and puts various state agencies into coordinated response. A First Alert is in place for the Jersey Shore until Sunday as the storm causes heavy flooding, coastal flooding, beach erosion, and strong wind gusts. Rain is expected throughout Saturday, with a possible break in the evening, but heavier rain could return on Sunday. The low-pressure system is expected to move away by Sunday night, with conditions gradually improving by Monday morning. Several roads, including NJ 147 in North Wildwood, US 9 in Pleasantville, NJ 73 North in Winslow Township, and several intersections in Atlantic City, have been closed due to flooding. A Coastal Flood Warning and High Surf Advisory are in effect until Sunday, with one to two feet of flooding possible in low-lying areas and waves reaching up to 10 feet. A High Rip Current Risk warning lasts through Sunday evening. High winds of up to 60 mph are expected, potentially causing power outages.",
