• Coastal Flood in Georgia, June 23, 2009$50,000 · 7 eventsAnomalously high Perigean Spring Tides resulted in significant coastal flooding along the Georgia coast.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, June 6, 2012$25,000 · 2 eventsA perigean spring tide along with onshore flow from the northeast created favorable conditions for salt water flooding along portions of the South Carolina coastline.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, October 27 to 28, 201514 eventsA combination of persistent and strong east/northeast winds, the perigean spring tide and a full moon produced 2 days of elevated high tide cycles along the southeast Georgia coast.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, January 30, 2010$15,000 · 1 eventThe combination of astronomical high tides and strong easterly winds due to strong high pressure north of the region and strong low pressure to the south, resulted in coastal flooding along the Georgia coast.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, June 22, 20095 eventsAnomalously high Perigean Spring Tides resulted in significant coastal flooding along the Georgia coast.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, August 29 to 31, 20195 eventsStrong and persistent northeast winds in wake of a front along with favorable astronomical factors led to a few days of moderate to major coastal flooding during high tide cycles near the Southeast Georgia coast.
• Flood and Coastal Flood in Georgia, October 9 to 11, 20255 eventsAn extended duration local nor'easter wind event developed October 9th and persisted through the 12th between high pressure wedging down the SE US coast and a sharpening coastal trough axis over the local coastal waters.
• Coastal Flood and High Surf in Georgia, September 30, 20074 eventsStrengthening High pressure over New England and low pressure off the Southeast U.S. coastline, resulted in a tight pressure gradient across southern South Carolina and Southeast Georgia.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, September 28 to 30, 20153 eventsA combination of periods of persistent and strong northeast winds, the proxigean spring tides, and a full moon produced several days of elevated high tides.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, November 24, 20183 eventsAstronomical effects including a full moon and upcoming lunar perigee combined to produce an elevated morning high tide. The level of the high tide was driven even higher by the presence of a passing area of low pressure around the time of high tide.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, November 23, 20183 eventsAstronomical effects including a full moon and upcoming lunar perigee combined to produce an elevated morning high tide.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, April 10, 20233 eventsAn unseasonal local Nor'Easter weather event developed April 9th into the 10th as an area of low pressure formed offshore of the central FL Atlantic coast along a lingering frontal zone as high pressure strengthened north of the region with an axis 'wedged' southward across…
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, October 27, 20152 eventsA full moon on Oct. 27th produced higher than normal astronomical tides and combined with moderate onshore flow created minor coastal flooding and beach erosion around the times of high tide. Water level departures were up 0.75 ft above predictions along the Atlantic coast.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, November 25 to 26, 20152 eventsThe combination of an elevated astronomical high tide due to a new moon cycle, and strong northeast winds from high pressure centered over New England helped to produce shallow coastal flooding along Highway 80 between Savannah and Tybee Island.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, November 25, 20152 eventsStrong onshore flow and gradually warning astronomical high tides brought minor coastal flooding during the morning high tide cycle.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, November 13 to 14, 20162 eventsA lingering NNE surge combined with high tide close to the full moon created elevated water levels along the Atlantic coast and within the St. Johns River Basin.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, November 13, 20162 eventsA combination of astronomical and meteorological influences resulted in a very high high tide cycle along the southeast Georgia coast.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, August 29 to 30, 20192 eventsThe approach of the New Moon (Aug 30) and onshore flow produced minor tidal flooding at Atlantic coast tide gages which resulted in minor flooding.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, September 21, 20202 eventsSurface high pressure centered over New England will shifted south which continued strong northeasterly flow over the region. A more stable and drier airmass was in place which produced less widespread shower activity moving onshore compared to previous couple of days.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, October 17 to 19, 20202 eventsStrong surface high pressure persisted NE of the local area with a strong surge of NE flow across the local waters through Oct 17th through the 19th.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, November 5 to 7, 20212 eventsAn area of low pressure developed across the southern Gulf of Mexico on Friday Nov. 5th and tracked eastward across north-central Florida Friday night, deepening offshore of the local NE FL Atlantic coast on Saturday Nov.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, September 27 to 30, 20232 eventsCoastal hazard potential increased through the week as high astronomical spring tides coincided with a persistent onshore flow pattern.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, June 4, 20232 eventsStrengthening surface high pressure wedging down the lee of the |Appalachians today will shift a frontal zone NE to SW across the |local area through the day.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, October 10, 20252 eventsStrong northeast winds resulting from high pressure inland and developing low pressure offshore along with astronomical influences associated with a recent full moon and perigee, led to coastal flooding along coastal Southeast Georgia.
• Coastal Flood in Georgia, May 7, 20121 eventLingering influences from the recent full moon and moderate onshore winds produced elevated tide levels across the coastal region of Southeast Georgia.
