Event narrative (NOAA)
Minor impacts were reported for this event. No inundation flooding was reported, but there was high surf on the Saturday midday high tide cycle as long period 8 to 10 foot swells reached the coast. This caused some minor splash-over and erosion in isolated areas. Northerly wind gusts around 50 mph led to minor to moderate wind impacts as branches and many trees came down, which led to 7000 outages in the county on Saturday afternoon. Power outage rates reached close to 25% of the county. A man was killed while driving when a large tree limb fell on his car. No flooding impacts were reported with rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 being reported.
