New York City king tides and high water in 2001

In 2001 (the gauge's verified record covers only 245 days of 2001), NOAA's tide gauge at The Battery recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one New York City road at risk on 2 days. The highest was 6.49 ft on Sunday, September 30, 2001, 1.30 ft above the tide tables, with 2 roads at risk, including Monroe Street and South Street.

Estimates, not records of actual flooding. Each day is NOAA's verified high water at the tide gauge, run through FloodRoute's flood model on today's roads and elevations, in dry weather. Drains, levees, tide gates, rain, road changes and elevation error all mean real conditions differed. Not for property, real-estate, insurance, lending, engineering or legal decisions.
