| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Hurricane Milton moved northeast across the eastern Gulf of Mexico, gradually weakening from category 5 to category 4 strength while passing, at the closest approach, about 180 statue miles to the northwest of Key West on the afternoon of October 9, 2024. Widespread lower-end tropical storm force winds overspread the Lower 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 October 9th, with a secondary Gulfside and Florida Bayside storm surge of higher magnitude during the early through mid morning hours October 10th. The highest storm surge values near 3.0 feet above MHHW occurred in Key Largo along Blackwater Sound. One tornado was observed as a waterspout moved ashore the far southwest portion of Key West. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Coastal flooding was initially limited to street flooding and heavy wave overwash of seawalls on the Atlantic side of Key West, and later evolved on the Gulf of Mexico side of the Lower Keys. Maximum water levels were measured at 1.2 feet above MHHW in the protected Key West Harbor, but estimated at 2.0 to 2.5 feet above MHHW along the northern extends of Big Torch Key and Big Pine Key. |
