Total water rise (storm tide) associated with Dorian was up to 3.2 ft MHHW along the St. Johns county coast to about 1.5-2 ft MHHW within the St. Johns River basin. Heaviest rainfall was confined to a couple bands in St. Johns & Flagler counties. Wind damage was confined to the immediate coast and areas generally east of the I-95 corridor. There was damage to some beach structures including piers and boardwalks. Some homes flooded in Davis Shores of St. Augustine due to surge flooding & rainfall.
