Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach and Tyndall Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle, with maximum sustained winds over 160 miles per hour, on October 10, 2018. The maximum recorded storm tide was 15.55 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The elevation of the maximum high-water mark, found in Port St. Joe, Florida, exceeded 20 feet above NAVD 88. The storm tide and winds destroyed much of the tourist town of Mexico Beach and caused extensive damage to the surrounding communities, including Tyndall Air Force Base, Panama City Beach, Port St. Joe, and Cape San Blas, Fla. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Federal Emergency Management Agency and Florida Division of Emergency Management, deployed a temporary monitoring network of water-level and barometric pressure sensors at 34 sites along the northwest coast of Florida to record the timing, areal extent, and magnitude of hurricane storm tide generated by Hurricane Michael. A total of 522 high-water marks were recovered and surveyed from 331 sites from Seaside, Fla. to Cedar Key, Fla. The USGS, in cooperation with Federal Emergency Management Agency and Florida Division of Emergency Management, displays real-time water-level data from long-term USGS streamflow stations, rapid deployment gages and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tide-gage stations, updated hourly (or, in some cases, more frequently), through satellite telemetry, on the USGS Flood Event Viewer (https://stn.wim. usgs.gov/FEV/#Michael2018). Introduction Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach and Tyndall Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle, with maximum sustained winds over 160 miles per hour, on October 10, 2018 (fig. 1; Beven and others, 2019). The storm tide and winds destroyed much of the tourist town of Mexico Beach, population 1,285 (University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research, 2018), and caused extensive damage to the surrounding communities, including Tyndall Air Force Base, Panama City Beach, Port St. Joe, and Cape San Blas, Florida. The storm tide and high winds predominately impacted the Florida Panhandle from Panama City Beach through Apalachee Bay. The storm tide swept buildings off their foundations, undermined roads, and flooded homes and businesses. The estimated cost of damages from the storm tide exceeds $25 billion (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] National Centers for Environmental Information, 2019). The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Federal Emergency Management Agency and Florida Division of Emergency Management, deployed a temporary monitoring network of water-level and barometric pressure sensors and rapid deployment gages (RDGs) at 36 sites along the northwestern coast of Florida to record the timing, areal extent, and magnitude of hurricane storm tide generated by Hurricane Michael (fig. 2). Storm tide, as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, 2013), is the water-level rise generated by a combination of storm surge and astronomical tide. The deployment of sensors to measure water-level and barometric pressure and subsequent collection of high-water marks (HWMs) was completed as part of a coordinated Federal emergency response as outlined by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) under a directed mission assignment by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Florida Division of Emergency Management. Hurricane Michael Storm-Tide Monitoring Instrumentation Water-level and barometric pressure sensors (non-real-time sensors and real-time RDGs) were placed at sites selected to augment existing streamgage and tide-gage networks to ensure adequate monitoring in areas forecasted to experience storm tide. Non-real-time sensors record continuous data and must be manually downloaded to retrieve the data. Real-time RDGs record continuous data and transmit 2 Monitoring Storm Tide From Hurricane Michael Along the Northwest Coast of Florida, October 2018
