episode_narrativeA strong pressure gradient between high pressure over the Mid-Atlantic states and Tropical Storm Noel over Hispaniola and eastern Cuba caused a prolonged period of strong east winds over Southeast Florida and the adjacent waters. As Noel moved north across the western Bahamas, the strong winds continued across southeast Florida. The event caused severe beach erosion, coastal flooding, and minor wind damage. The event lasted into the first few days of November.
event_narrativeHigh surf began to impact the Palm Beach County coast on October 29th, with water levels rising sufficiently enough to cause severe beach erosion and coastal flooding beginning on October 30th and continuing through October 31st and into the first few days of November. Extreme beach erosion was observed along the central and northern Palm Beach coast from Lantana north to Jupiter. In some areas, the dune line was completely eroded, with oceanfront buildings sitting on top of 15 foot cliffs straight down to the water. A sea wall at the Imperial House condominiums in South Palm Beach collapsed from the pounding surf, and the east portion of the building was evacuated. South of Lantana to Boca Raton, erosion was reported as moderate to severe.||Damage estimates are included in November 2007 Storm Data.||Maximum storm tide observed at Virginia Key NOS tide gauge was 3.5 feet just before midnight on November 1, and the maximum surge height at that time was 1.08 feet. No tide measurements are available from Palm Beach County, but storm tide is estimated to have been as high as 2-3 feet over northern Palm Beach County.
