May 25, 2013
The highest astronomical tides of the month combined with a weak, but developing, area of low pressure (1000 mb) near Cape Cod to produce coastal flooding in coastal Rockingham County during the late evening hours of May 25th. Fortunately winds were relatively light, with relatively modest seas along the coast. Flooding occurred on several of the lower back roads in Hampton, including Brown Avenue.
