In 1999, NOAA's Sewells Point tide gauge recorded water high enough for FloodRoute's model to put at least one Virginia Beach road at risk on 1 day. The highest was 5.97 ft on Thursday, September 16, 1999, 3.18 ft above the tide tables, with 1 road at risk, including Quail Point 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.
