A storm system moving northeast from the DelMarVa region caused some heavy rain and minor coastal flooding at the time of the mid-day tide on November 25. A high astronomical tide combined with 10+ foot seas just offshore and NNE wind |gusts of 30 to 40 knots to produce a 1 to 1.5 foot storm surge, which caused pockets of minor coastal flooding within an hour or two of the high tide.
