# Forest Hills king tides and high water in 2009

> In 2009, NOAA's Sewells Point tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Forest Hills road at risk on 1 day. The highest was 7.73 ft on Thursday, November 12, 2009, 5.20 ft above the tide tables, with 1 road at risk, including Blue Heron Road.

**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.

## Every day with roads at risk (1)

| Date | High water (Sewells Point gauge, ft MLLW) | vs tide tables | Roads at risk | Severity | Deepest streets (model) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 12, 2009 | 7.73 | +5.20 ft | 1 | Possible | Blue Heron Road |
