County of Flagler issued the following announcement on November 4.
November 4, 2021 – Flagler County residents in the low-lying areas known to flood – particularly along the Intracoastal Waterway – could see tidal flooding enhanced by nor’easter conditions Friday into Saturday as a low-pressure weather system moves across Central and Northeast Florida.
“If you live near the coast, please take time now to secure any lightweight items in your yard, as gale-force winds are possible,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “Those who live in flood prone areas should also take time to prepare, because of the potential for tidal flooding.”
Affected areas could include the Intracoastal Waterway, Pellicer Creek, Haw Creek, and Bulow Creek.
Countywide heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is possible, according to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville. It could be heavier in some areas. Tides could be 2 to 3 feet above normal with surf heights of 7 to 10 feet.
“Power disruptions are always a possibility, so it’s a good idea to check flashlight batteries,” Lord said.
