Hurricane Irma Pre- and Post-Storm Photo Comparisons - Marco Island
By St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
September 2017 (approx.)
Detailed Description
Location 1: Even though the predicted probability of overwash was 99%, elevated water levels during Hurricane Irma did not overtop the seawall on the southern end of Marco Island, but eroded much of the beach in front. Some overwash can be seen to the north of the seawall.
