| 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 Southeastern 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 along Western Long Island Sound, New York Harbor, the southern and eastern bays of Long Island and southern bays of New York City. This resulted in moderate to major coastal flooding, wave damage and erosion along the coast, with heavy damage to public beaches and other public and private facilities. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The USGS tidal gauge at West Pond at Glen Cove recorded a maximum water level of 9.26 ft. NGVD at 1030 am on August 28 2011, which is well above the NWS threshold for moderate coastal flooding.||These water levels caused widespread moderate to major coastal flooding. In Asharoken, 1-3 feet of inundation was experienced onto Asharoken Avenue at Bevin Road. Waves crashed onto and over the seawall with spray 10 to 15 feet in the air. |
