After the Storm - Hurricane Matthew and the Floods
In the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, USGS crews have been collecting the record number of storm-tide sensors deployed prior to the storm and are now determining high water marks, collecting water quality samples, and assessing the impacts of storm surge on south eastern beaches caused by erosion, overwash and inundation.
The USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center (SAWSC) deployed most of the USGS Storm-Tide Network along the Atlantic coast to monitor the timing, extent, and magnitude of the storm tide during the passage of Hurricane Matthew. This data will be available from a web application portal at http://stn.wim.usgs.gov/fev/#MatthewOctober2016.
Real-time Rapid Deployment Gage data for each state can be found at: Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
