| 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 Jamaica Bay at Inwood recorded a maximum water level of 7.53 ft NGVD at 930 am on August 28th 2011, which is well above the NWS threshold for moderate coastal flooding. The USGS tidal gauge at Rockaway Inlet near Floyd Bennet Field recorded a maximum water level of 7.58 ft NGVD at 830 am on August 28th 2011, which is well above the NWS threshold for moderate coastal flooding. ||These water levels caused widespread moderate to major coastal flooding along the coastline. In East New York, the right lane of Erskine St was closed due to inundation from heavy rain and storm surge. In Coney Island, several harbor facing streets and the subway train storage yard were underwater. In Sheepshead Bay, the Belt Parkway eastbound at Knapp Street was closed due to a combination of heavy rain and storm surge. Additionally, the Belt Parkway was closed in both directions from Bay 8th Street to Bay Parkway due to coastal flooding. |
