[October 10, 2013] Low pressure over the shelf off Virgina causes flooding during high tides: A series of three flooding periods on October 9-10, 2013 caused several floodings with the maximum at Sewalls Point reached in the night from October 9 to 10 with a water level 0.55 meters above HAT. The picture from the corner of W Olney Rd and Dundaff Street was taken at 2:48 PM on October 10, 2013, when water level at Sewalls point was about 0.48 meters above HAT.

Repeated flooding will continue during hight tides for several days at a slightly lower level.
