Tidal flooding, also known as sunny day flooding [1] or nuisance flooding, [2] is the temporary inundation of low-lying areas, especially streets, during exceptionally high tide events, such as at full and new moons. The highest tides of the year may be known as the king tide, with the month varying by location. These kinds of floods tend not ...
The Great Miami River watershed covers nearly 4,000 square miles (10,000 km 2) and 115 miles (185 km) of channel that feeds into the Ohio River. [4] Other Ohio cities also had flooding from these storms but none as extensive as the cities of Dayton, Piqua, Troy, and Hamilton, along the Great Miami River. [5]
Head of tide, tidal limit [2] or tidehead [3] is the farthest point upstream where a river is affected by tidal fluctuations, [4] or where the fluctuations are less than a certain amount. [5] The river section influenced by tides and marine forces but without salinity is a tidal river , while downstream areas are brackish and termed estuaries .
Scratch that. Six Ohio cities are among the worst in the U.S. for bed bug infestations.
Coastal flooding during Hurricane Lili in 2002 on Louisiana Highway 1 (United States). Coastal flooding occurs when dry and low-lying land is submerged by seawater. [1] The range of a coastal flooding is a result of the elevation of floodwater that penetrates the inland which is controlled by the topography of the coastal land exposed to flooding.
In Erie, lake-effect squalls could bring another 1 to 3 inches of snow today, according to AccuWeather. Another 3 to 6 inches is predicted on Thursday. Another 3 to 6 inches is predicted on Thursday.
Additional lake effect snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are possible in the far northeast portion of Ohio near Euclid, Richmond Heights and Mayfield on December 2, 2024.
[1] In terms of tides, tidal rivers are classified as microtidal (<2 m), mesotidal (2-4 m), and macrotidal (>4 m). [2] Areas of brackish water seaward of the tidal river section are often called estuaries. A phenomenon commonly associated with tidal rivers is a tidal bore, where a wall of water travels upriver during a flood tide. [1]
