| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Low pressure developed along the southern mid Atlantic coast on the evening of the 23rd and then rapidly intensified as it slowly tracked northeast, south of Long Island, through the night of the 24th. The resulting surge from 36 hours of gale to storm force north to northeast winds, combined with high astronomical tides, resulted in widespread minor to moderate coastal flooding for three consecutive tidal cycles the morning of the 23d into the morning of the 24th along the southern coastal areas of Long Island. Areas of minor to localized moderate coastal flooding occurred along Long Island Sound and East End portions of Long Island during this time period as well.||In addition, widespread dune toe erosion and localized wash overs were reported along the Atlantic Ocean facing beaches of Long Island. Fire Island was especially hard hit. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | At Gilgo Beach, heavy beach erosion was reported with some dune damage. ||At Robert Moses State Park in Babylon, NY, beach flooding occurred to the dune lines on the ocean fronts. The surf was very rough. The emergency manager estimated 8-12 foot waves, although with the white out, the view of the ocean was limited.||At Robbins Rest on Fire Island, significant beach erosion was reported with localized wash overs. ||At Captree State Park in Bay Shore, NY, bordered by the Fire Island Inlet and State Boat Channel, erosion was experienced during high tides on the east side of the shoreline. |
