| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Hurricane Dorian moved slowly northwest away from Grand Bahama Island late in the evening September 2. Dorian tracked parallel to the eastern Florida coast over the next 36-48 hours at Category 2-3 strength, making its closest approach when the center was approximately 80 miles east of the tip of Cape Canaveral. Rain bands on the western periphery of Dorian's circulation moved very near the east central Florida coast producing sustained tropical storm force winds in coastal areas of Brevard and Volusia counties, and gusts to tropical storm force along the Treasure Coast. As the center of Hurricane Dorian moved north of the Cape, a rain band developed on the western side of the hurricane, and gusts to tropical storm force were observed in Orange and Seminole Counties. There were no direct hurricane-related fatalities, however 5 indirect fatalities occurred during the preparedness and evacuation phases of the hurricane. Preliminary damage estimates across east central Florida exceeded $32 million, primarily related to beach erosion.||A storm surge of 2-3 feet AGL affected areas north of Cape Canaveral, and storm surge of near 2 feet AGL impacted areas south of Cape Canaveral through Martin County. Moderate to major beach erosion occurred along many sections of the east-central Florida coastline. Water levels rises within the coastal lagoon system reached between 1 and 2 feet above normal levels due to a combination of coastal surge, persistent north winds, and reduced drainage through the inlets to the Atlantic. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | As Hurricane Dorian moved northwest parallel to the east central Florida coast, the Saint Lucie County beaches experienced varying degrees of beach erosion, with moderate to major beach erosion in some areas, due to an estimated 2 foot AGL storm surge. The strong onshore winds and large swells over two high tide cycles contributed to the surge. Similar water level rises occurred within the Indian River Lagoon system. |
