A local environmental group in Boston, Stone Living Lab, posted signs in the water directing onlookers to its website, which said, "Wicked High Tides are back!These annual tides are 2-4 feet ...
Along the Massachusetts coastline, the storm produced 25 ft (7.6 m) wave heights on top of a 4 ft (1.2 m) high tide. [2] In Boston, the highest tide was 14.3 ft (4.4 m), [6] which was only 1 ft (30 cm) lower than the record from the blizzard of 1978. [2] High waves on top of the storm tide reached about 30 ft (9.1 m).
The Rivers and Harbors Act of 1909 set national policy for an intracoastal waterway from Boston to the Rio Grande, [5] and the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1910 authorized a 9-by-100-foot (2.7 m × 30.5 m) channel on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between the Apalachicola River and St. Andrews Bay, Florida (completed in 1936), as well as a study ...
Hurricane Carol struck Connecticut shortly after high tide, and its combination with 10 to 15 feet (3.0 to 4.6 m) storm surges from New London eastward produced widespread tidal flooding. [13] About 2,000 people were stranded when a rail line between New Haven and Rhode Island was flooded. [ 18 ]
Waves were already starting to splash over the seawall two hours before high tide at 12:19 p.m. The storm surge, officials said, was "2.5 to 3 feet, with inundation of 1 to 3.5 feet."
There is a 13 miles (21 km) long designated paddling trail from the Riverbend Nature Park to the Tomoka State Park. This trail is unusual as it actually leads 4 miles (6.4 km) upstream from the put-in point, until the river becomes too narrow to continue, then turns around to continue 8 miles (13 km) to the end.

The hurricane's highest storm surge measured in Florida was 12.28 ft (3.74 m) above mean low tide at Jacksonville Beach. [8] At the time, the 7.1 ft (2.2 m) high storm surge measured at Fernandina Beach was the second-highest observed there on record. [67] There, nearly 50 beach houses collapsed, contributing to a $500,000 damage toll.
