Dear Friends,

Ocean City is experiencing major flooding on Saturday morning with many streets underwater. At the moment, all bridges into Ocean City are closed.

Under any circumstance, please stay off the roads. Driving through floodwaters like these poses an extreme risk to your own safety and to properties damaged by the wake from passing vehicles. Our police and fire teams are equipped with high-water rescue vehicles. Call 911 for any emergency.

This morning’s high tide has passed but it’s not clear how far water levels will recede before the next high tide at 8:50 p.m. this evening.

Be safe and stay home. I will provide further updates as needed.

Warm regards,

Jay A. Gillian
Mayor
