A Coastal Flood Advisory was issued for Camden County, Georgia after high surf and rip currents were reported. According to a National Weather Service report in Jacksonville, Florida, this was to be in effect until 10 AM EST, Sunday, December 15, 2024. Thankfully, there were no major reports of flooding in the area, and the advisory was lifted. Coastal flooding is the deluge of areas by seawater, that are normally dry and are usually low-lying. The reasons for this may be attributed to several causes, primarily including a rise in sea levels along with extreme weather conditions.
This happens when the sea level has risen above the elevation of the land surface, especially in places that are without any barrier protection provided by nature in the form of dunes.
