| 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 in Great South Bay at Lindenhurst recorded a maximum water level of 5.26 ft. NGVD at 930 am on August 28 2011, which is well above the NWS threshold for major coastal flooding. ||These water levels caused widespread moderate to major coastal flooding along the coastline. In Lindenhurst, the combination of storm surge and heavy rain resulted in most of the town of Lindenhurst being inundated by water from adjacent canals and streams. In Babylon, houses and streets alongside canals and docks were inundated with a couple of feet of water. In Robert Moses State Park, Burma Rd. was covered by 18 inches of saltwater and Davis Park Marina was completely inundated by a few feet of water. In Patchogue, Shorefront Park, Sandspit Marina, and Mascot Dock were inundated with 1-2 feet of water and wave action. Additionally, Smith Street and points to the south were flooded up to 4 feet deep. |
