Storm Surge/Tide — Coastal Volusia County, Florida
November 9, 2022 · NOAA Storm Events record
Event narrative (NOAA)
Persistent onshore flow ahead of and during Nicole led to water level rises of 3 to 5 feet, locally up to 6 feet, along the Volusia County coastline. Moderate to severe beach erosion along already weakened dunes left behind in the wake of Hurricane Ian led to additional failures of seawalls and structures along the coastline. Numerous structures, including homes, condominiums, and hotels were deemed unsafe and required additional analysis by engineers as well as county and state officials. Several homes along the 4000 block of S. Atlantic Ave. in Wilbur-by-the-Sea and in Port Orange collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean. Numerous waterfront structures along the intracoastal waters, including the Halifax River, experienced inundation due to water levels rises of 3 to 5 feet. A damage assessment
