# Bay Colony king tides and high water in 2012

> In 2012, NOAA's Sewells Point tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Bay Colony road at risk on 39 days. The highest was 6.79 ft on Monday, October 29, 2012, 3.70 ft above the tide tables, with 2 roads at risk, including South Bay Shore Drive and Wythe Lane.

**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.
