I'd say Dorsey and Lancaster is too small, not sure about Chaptico.

Adopt me please !
AND someone stole our smow! I thought they said mid/late March we'd get a smowstorm?

Same where I’m at. Looking ahead at the tide chart, seems like we’ll be getting tides higher than that several times next week.

We can't go by the normal tide tables here on St. George's Island. That's why NOAA completed a lengthy study of the actual tide behavior right here, and created a dedicated site that does a remarkably good job of predicting what's really going to happen right here in our yard. SGI and I supported the initial data collection phase of the project; NOAA installed a water level gauge on my pier and provided us a web portal to enter data during observed high-water events. Then they developed a computer model and installed a permanent tide and weather station on the Piney Point Landing park property to support the predictions long term. And here is the final result..Same where I’m at. Looking ahead at the tide chart, seems like we’ll be getting tides higher than that several times next week.

I would be interesting to see the wind data. I imagine it's somewhere on the NWS site.
You need an active ArcGIS account, apparently... I bet there are some third-party apps that can provide access to that data though. Mr. Rick would know...

We were one foot from flooding in Solomons..I know you guys are a little lower over there..it was just up to the lowest grate in front of the Tiki bar is which a little over 3 Feet + MLLW...my road floods at 4.2 above MLLW. Today getting blow out of the western portion of the Bay anyway...probably pretty sporty over near Hooper Is., etc.
The end of my driveway and the road in front of my house is not quite 3'..and same goes for several other places on the main island road.

Our flooding data seems to match...but sorry you are that low.
It is slightly delayed, but wind data I don't get from my PWS, I get from NOAA thru the NDBC sites (like the CBL pier, and the yellow buoys out in the Bay. - The history goes back far enough you can get 24 hours of historical data at least. I am not sure about some of the newer places they are posting. Like the new machine on top of the TJ Bridge a few years ago I cannot figure out where to access!?!?!?!!?!

We've (my marine engineering company) been accessing NOAA wave buoy data for many years. If we don't have our own portable wave buoy, we typically perform sea trials near/around one of the NOAA buoys. ChesLight was a regular location we used for trials we conducted out of Pax and Little Creek, VA, for example.Our flooding data seems to match...but sorry you are that low.

With the USN no longer doing much in the advanced craft development areas, we have not been out doing any testing and trials in our area since 2010.
That was one facet of our marine business that was particularly enjoyable.
