HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

STORM SURGE...THE COMBINATION OF STORM SURGE AND THE TIDE WILL CAUSE

THE WATER COULD REACH THE FOLLOWING HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND IF THE
PEAK SURGE OCCURS AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE...

FLAGLER BEACH NORTH TO CAPE CHARLES LIGHT...1 TO 2 FT

WATERS LEVELS ARE FALLING ALONG THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA. HOWEVER
PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW COULD CAUSE MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING
THE NEXT HIGH TIDE OVERNIGHT.

THE DEEPEST WATER WILL OCCUR ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. SURGE-
RELATED FLOODING DEPENDS ON THE RELATIVE TIMING OF THE SURGE AND
THE TIDAL CYCLE...AND CAN VARY GREATLY OVER SHORT DISTANCES. FOR
INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...PLEASE SEE PRODUCTS ISSUED BY
YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE.
