episode_narrativeA strong surface ridge over the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic and Tropical Storm Noel over the Caribbean produced a strong northeast flow regime over our local area. Strong and persistent onshore flow produced bands of heavy rainfall, high and rough surf as well as caused tidal flooding along our coastal counties.
event_narrativeAt Guana River State Park around 11:28 am on 10/29 the surf was around 8 ft. Around 11:30 am, rough waves and strong northeast winds sunk a boat at the harbor near the Bridge of Lions in downtown St. Augustine (no injuries). At noon, the back porch of a residence at 2561 South Ponte Vedra Blvd. was washed into the ocean. High surf and tides eroded about 12 feet of sand from this residence which was about 4 miles south of Guana River State Park. Stairs leading to the ocean nearby were washed away, and several backyards along the oceanfront were flooded. Minor street flooding was reported in Vilano Beach and many beach walkways were washed away. Around 6 pm, about 5 miles south of Guana River State Park, a home located at 2800 block of Ponte Vedra Beach Blvd. South was in danger of collapse due to coastal erosion. A 25-foot seawall had been built in front of the home a week prior, and the surf undermined the wall. About 3 to 7 feet of Ponte Vedra beach was eroded. Several roads had to be closed in St. Augustine due to flooding from the inlet which included Kings Street between Ponce De Leon Blvd. and Malaga Street. By 6 pm, high tides and 7-10 ft breakers produced severe beach erosion in the Summerhaven area north of Marineland. On 10/30 around 1:30 pm, the ocean reached the dunes about 3 miles south of Guana River State Park and was eroding the dune line. Several homes at 2855, 2859, and 2861 Ponte Vedra Blvd. South could have collapsed due to severe erosion. An empty lot at 2855 lost 10 feet of property between noon and 1:30 pm. Dirt was being dumped into the lot in an attempt to stabilize the properties on either side of it.
