Flooding History

September 10, 1960

Hurricane Donna hits from the south with 120mph winds. Water was pulled out of all bays & inlets and brought back in when she pulled north, reportedly causing significant flooding and heavy damage on St. Armands Key.  more info , Wikipedia

2005-2006

We have no data on St. Armands flooding for the next 50+ years.

However, in 2006 a major stormwater improvement project was completed on St. Armands (link).  The project presentation referenced locations on St. Armands Key with frequent roadway and structural flooding.

    Hurricane Debby (started as Invest 97L, then PTC4, then Tropical Storm Debby) passed to our west as a tropical storm, as did Hurricane Idalia.  St. Armands only had minimal street flooding, but the storm surge and rain caused significant flooding on south Lido and north Longboat keys, and throughout the city and county.  In fact, the City Emergency Manager wrote that "the city has not had to deal with this kind of an impact in probably over 50 years" (link).  Observer article, Sarasota Magazine article, Herald-Tribune article, Wikipedia
