🚣 𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 | Massive flooding, shoreline erosion and structural damage on both sides of Florida. It is small consolation that this hurricane season could have been worse. When you are in the path of destruction, all it takes is one.
From a scientific and hydrological perspective, the way hurricanes impact the St. Johns River is extremely interesting. As everyone knows, Florida is very flat and the St. Johns River is too. So when hurricanes impact Florida and the river, each takes on its own set of unique characteristics.
You also need to couple those factors with all the filled wetlands, paved roads and parking lots that have altered the river’s ecosystem over the last 200-plus years. Not to mention the thousands of acres of forest that have been removed.that came ashore in Southwest Florida, then moved up the western side of the state. At one time, the storm effectively covered the entire peninsular of Florida raining trillions of gallons of water on the state and into the St. Johns River basin.
Then there was Ian which also made landfall in Southwest Florida, but with Category 4 winds and flooding that effectively destroyed Sanibel and Captive Islands. Ian then moved across the state before going back into the Atlantic near Cape Canaveral. Compare that to what happened with Hurricane Nicole which made landfall near Vero Beach and crossed the state going more east to northwest. Nicole was more noteworthy because of the tremendous amount of shoreline erosion and beachfront homes destroyed or damaged. We effectively lost millions of cubic yards of sand. Sand that we taxpayers had just paid to have deposited.
