One hour past low tide on Monday afternoon and the tide has barely receded from the high water mark.
Streetside view of rainfall and flooded streets in Oceanport.
Wind kicks up to 60 knots and waves pound as the river pushes past record high marks.

Only one hour after low tide on Monday evening, waters had risen on the Shrewsbury River to the previous high water mark set at the morning's high tide. Winds have reached a steady 60 knots with gusts up to 65.

Here, in Oceanport and Little Silver, and in nearby Long Branch and Eatontown, the high water appears to be racing to the record flooding of the infamous 1992 nor'easter.
