| episode_narrative | A strong high pressure system moved very slowly east to southeast across Northern New England while a low pressure trough extended northwest from a subtropical low near Bermuda. The trough extended from south of Long Island across North Central Pennsylvania. Waves of low pressure developed and moved northwest along this boundary.This system produced northeast gales from October 12th through the 14th with waves up to 15 feet that broke on shore. Moderate to severe beach erosion occurred along with widespread moderate tidal flooding. Many sections of Long Island's south shore and east end beaches were washed out. Widespread significant damage occurred to dunes and bluffs. Severe erosion was reported at Robert Moses State Park, Captree State Park, Hecksher State Park, and along the Montauk shores.Tidal flooding occurred starting with the October 12th afternoon high tide cycle and lasted in some areas until the afternoon high tide cycle on October 14th.Minor tidal flooding was indicated by the USGS Tidal Gage at Rockaway Inlet near Floyd Bennet Field, which measured a water level around 5.8 feet above NGVD.Moderate tidal flooding occurred across the inland bays and the Atlantic shores of Nassau County. Here are selected water level measurements from USGS tidal gages:The East Rockaway Inlet Tidal Gage at Atlantic Beach measured a water level around 5.5 feet above NGVD, which indicated moderate tidal flooding.The Jamaica Bay Tidal Gage at Inwood measured a water level of 5.9 feet above NGVD, which indicated minor tidal flooding. In Woodmere, water accumulated up to 2 feet in the streets.The Reynolds Channel Tidal Gage at Point Lookout measured a water level near 5.5 feet above NGVD, which indicated moderate tidal flooding.The Hudson Bay Tidal Gage at Freeport measured a water level around 5.2 feet above NGVD, which indicated moderate tidal flooding. In Freeport, water rose over the bulk head and flooded at least 3 buildings. Because of tidal piling, subsequent high tides through October 14th resulted in the accumulation of 1 to 3 feet of water in the streets.Moderate tidal flooding occurred across the inland bays and Atlantic facing shores of Suffolk County.The USGS Great South Bay tidal gage at Lindenhurst measured a water level of around 4.2 feet above NGVD, which indicated moderate tidal flooding. Because of tidal piling, subsequent high tides through October 14th resulted in the accumulation of 1 to 3 feet of water in the streets from Amityville east to Babylon, including Lindenhurst. |
