Storm surge is expected to overtop seawalls in Beverly Beach and northern Flagler Beach, and the surge will likely over wash onto the highway. Storm surge will likely flood neighborhoods including those in the Hammocks, Sea Colony, Mala Compra and Marineland. - Widespread storm surge flooding within the Intracoastal Waterway is expected in areas of Flagler Beach. Vulnerable areas include south of State Road 100, west of South Central Avenue and South Daytona Avenue. Numerous structures in these areas will likely experience storm surge inundation. Many structures west of North Daytona Avenue and north of State Road 100 could also experience significant surge flooding. - In Beverly Beach, nearly all structures west of A1A could flood, including large portions of Surfside Estates. Extensive flooding is likely near and within Mala Compra, Bings Landing, Washington Oaks and Marineland. Palm Coast Sections F and C could flood if canals are overtopped. As tide levels approach 6 feet, U.S. Highway 1 near Pellicer Creek may flood around times of high tide. - Wildlife, including reptiles and rodents, are semi-aquatic and will be looking for high ground to escape storm surge and rainfall flooding.
