Flooding occurred along the coast of New Hampshire on February 9th as an intense storm passed east of the Canadian Maritimes during a period of high astronomical tides. Large, long-period swells combined with a storm surge between one and two feet to lead to splash-over and coastal flooding. Moderate splash-over occurred on Ocean Boulevard at Bicentennial Park with areal flooding in the Backbay area.
