episode_narrativeThe combination of strong high pressure over Southeast Canada and intensifying low pressure tracking slowly northeast from the Mid-Atlantic States created a prolonged period of strong east winds across the region March 12th through the 14th. The highest winds and resultant tidal rises occurred on March 13th with widespread moderate coastal flooding occurring. Positive tidal departures of 3 to 5 feet were recorded, with many places seeing water levels reaching their highest levels in almost 20 years. In addition, the prolonged east winds generated high surf that battered the Atlantic facing shoreline for several days, which caused severe beach erosion.
event_narrativeRobert Moses State Park suffered major flooding and erosion during the March 12 to 15 coastal storm as waves up to 20 feet battered the shoreline. The storm left only 10 feet separating the ocean front from the east end of the boardwalk. State Park officials estimated that the storm washed away more than 100 feet of beach depth at Fields 4 and 5 at Robert Moses. This will require 200,000 cubic feet of sand to be placed on the shore in April at an estimated cost of 1 million dollars.
