2016 ,Oct 7th Hurricane Matthew passes just east by 28 miles with 115mph winds while moving NNW. A post-storm
assessment conducted by the Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in Jacksonville also suggested
that inundation could have been as high as 7 ft in several locations along the immediate coastline,
particularly near Matanzas Inlet and Marineland. Severe storm surge flooding produced
inundation of 6-7 ft above ground level, causing a new inlet to be cut in the barrier island between
Marineland and Matanzas Inlet.Radar (Brian McNoldy, Univ. of Miami, Rosenstiel School) | Best models | Matthew timeline | NHC final report | USGS surge info | A disaster named Matthew video
