***** Delaware River Update #3 & Final *****

March 14, 2010, 11:30 a.m.

             The City of Lambertville Office of Emergency Management has been monitoring the weather and river forecasts in view of the storm we have received from Friday into today. Based on the latest National Weather Service (NWS) projection at 9:50 a.m. today, Sunday, March 14, 2010, the expected crest of the Delaware River in Lambertville is 8.9’, which is predicted to occur early Monday morning.  This is about four feet (4’) under our flood stage of 13’. The actual river elevation and timing can change as more information becomes available.

             Our City has done well with the storm but we have had a number of trees go down and electric service to some has been lost. 

             At this time, based on the latest projection, THIS WILL BE THE FINAL UPDATE from the Lambertville Emergency Management ListServe regarding potential river flooding.  As we continue to monitor the situation, if projections change to threatening levels you will be notified.  We hope you have found this service valuable and presented in a clear, easy to understand fashion.

             Please share this information with your neighbors, family and friends.  If they are not already Emergency Notice Recipients, have them sign up at www.lambertvilleNJ.org and left click “Emergency Notices” in the middle at the top of the page.

             Enjoy your Sunday!
