| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Hurricane Helene moved north northeast across the eastern Gulf of Mexico, strengthening to category 2 strength before passing at closest approach 235 statue miles to the west-northwest of Key West on the morning of September 27, 2024. Widespread lower-end tropical storm force winds overspread the Florida Keys and its adjacent coastal waters producing isolated large tree limb and utility line damage. Coastal flooding in lowest elevation parts of the Florida Keys occurred initially with storm surge around 1.5 feet MHHW along the oceanside of the Florida Keys accompanied by heavy wave action on September 26th, with a secondary Florida Bay side coastal flooding episode across eastern Florida Bay coastal areas during the early to mid morning hours September 27th well after Hurricane Helen had moved inland across the southeastern United States. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Storm surge in association with the passage of Hurricane Helene over the eastern Gulf of Mexico resulted in flooding up to 1.3 feet above mean higher high water (MHHW) oceanside at Snake Creek in Islamorada during the late evening hours of September 25th, then a much later surge across Florida Bay up to 1.8 feet MHHW along Blackwater Sound and Sunset Cove in Key Largo. Streets up to two blocks from the Florida Bay shoreline were temporarily impassible to smaller vehicles. |
