Overview
- Heavy rain and coastal flooding pushed water more than four feet above the normal low tide, among the highest readings reported this year.
- Compromise Street flooded, severing access to Eastport and blocking approaches to the U.S. Naval Academy.
- Flooded roads disrupted traffic and deliveries as several downtown businesses closed or opened late.
- Cars left overnight at City Dock were swamped after the waterfront remained underwater for hours.
- The mayor said temporary sump pumps function only below four feet, reinforcing the plan to raise City Dock to eight feet as a long-term fix.
