What happened
The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
Hurricane Floyd approached from the south, but turned more northeast on the afternoon of the 15th and just brushed southeast Georgia. Well over 200,000 citizens in the affected counties evacuated the area. Because Floyd turned to the northeast, damage was minimal and confined mostly to the coastal counties. Scattered trees and a few power lines were down. Highest winds over land was 40 mph with a gust to 53 mph at the Savannah Airport. Maximum tide at Savannah was 12.39 ASL (8.69 MLLW) with a maximum departure of 3.3 feet.
