Lynnhaven king tides and high water in 1997

In 1997, NOAA's Sewells Point tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Lynnhaven road at risk on 2 days. The highest was 5.54 ft on Sunday, October 19, 1997, 2.14 ft above the tide tables, with 1 road at risk, including Hutton 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.
