Norfolk king tides and high water in 2002

In 2002, NOAA's Sewells Point tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Norfolk road at risk on 4 days. The highest was 4.70 ft on Wednesday, October 16, 2002, 2.13 ft above the tide tables, with 14 roads at risk, including West City Hall Avenue, South Mowbray Arch and Dinwiddie 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.
