The storm came from the gulf of Mexico, and upon reacing land, it weakened to the point were it was not a tropical storm anymore. But it still caused a big downpour in Alabama and Georgia as it made it's way to New Jersey and the Atlantic. Because it was heading north east, it was called a nor'easter.= = = =**Effects? There were some serious effects of the 13th storm of 2009. In Ocean city NJ there were up to 2 feet of flooding in certain areas. Also In sea isle city the flooding was so bad that a bus carrying 15 students was stranded an later rescued. This storm really slowed traffic to the shore down. One other thing that this Nor' easter caused was so much on the coastline that most schools and buisnesses were closed down. This storm was one of the most devistating storms to our coastline we have had in a while.**= =**Pictures, video, etc....**= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbFOUBTOHz0&feature=related**
