Coastal Flood — Coastal Rockingham, NH

Oct 29, 2011

A weak northeasterly flow set up across New England, which coincided with the highest astronomical tides of the year. There was very little wave action with this system which helped mitigate any problems. Nevertheless, the storm surge was sufficient enough along coastal New Hampshire to produce minor coastal flooding. Minor flooding occurred along low lying roads along Brown Avenue and Island Path, in Hampton New Hampshire.
