| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Irene made landfall locally as a tropical storm around 900 am August 28, 2011 over New York City. Irene then moved across Southeast New York and Western Connecticut before dissipating over Northern New England near the Canadian Border the evening of August 28. The large envelope of winds associated with Tropical Storm Irene pushed a 3 to 5 foot surge of water into Long Island Sound resulting in moderate to major coastal flooding, wave damage and erosion. This resulted in damage or destruction of over 100 homes in East Haven, Milford, Westport, Fairfield and Stratford. Heavy damage to public beaches and other public and private facilities also occurred. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The NOS tidal gauge at New London, CT recorded a maximum water level of 6.55 ft. MLLW at 924 am EST, above the unofficial NWS moderate coastal flooding benchmark.||These water levels cause moderate coastal flooding along the shore. In Stonington, inundation of 1 to 3 feet over the seawall and inland about 100 feet into adjacent properties was experienced. In Groton, Long Island Sound inundated portions of Beach Pond Rd., Tyler Avenue, Pine Island Rd., Jupiter Pt. Rd., Shore Ave and adjacent properties with 1 to 3 feet of water. Thames Street was inundated by 1 to 3 ft. of water, with the Thames Inn Boat House inundated by several feet of water. In addition, the Bayview Avenue Boat launch was inundated about 50 ft. inland. |
