The gradient between a high pressure system in Quebec Province and the developing nor'easter east of North Carolina produced a stiff east wind. Consequently, the high tides were a little more than three feet above normal. This produced a high tide of 7.1 feet (Above Mean Low Water) in Lewes. Roads susceptible to tidal flooding were covered and/or closed at high tide. In Kent County Hubbard Avenue in Bowers Beach was under water. A parking lot in Little Creek was submerged. Parts of the bayside communities of Woodland Beach and Pickering Beach were inaccessible. South Bowers became an island as waves were breaking on Kent County Road 121, the only road into South Bowers. In addition, the high tide caused flooding along the Murderkill River, which flooded near Webb Landing shutting it off further. In Sussex County the road between the Indian River Outlet and the South Shore Marina was under two and a half feet of water. Tidal flooding caused roadway flooding in Lewes, Dewey and along State Route 54. By the overnight high tide, the nor'easter moved inland into Southern New Jersey and tidal flooding was less.
