What the National Weather Service wrote

Darien Police closed Highway 17 from Darien south to Highway 99 near the Glynn County line due to saltwater flooding.

The wider storm

Astronomical effects including a full moon and upcoming lunar perigee combined to produce an elevated morning high tide. The level of the high tide was driven even higher by the presence of a passing area of low pressure around the time of high tide. The high tide resulted in coastal flooding along the southeast Georgia coast including Savannah and Tybee Island.
