Persistent onshore flow combined with elevated Atlantic water levels due to much higher than normal astronomical tides with the approach and passage of the Super Harvest Blood Moon (occurred on Sept. 27) funneled a lot of water into the St. Johns River basin. Elevated water levels, some the highest experienced since the 2004 tropical storms (Jeanne and Frances) caused flooding of low lying areas and some property. One of the hardest hit areas were near Dunns Creek, Welaka and Satsuma in Putnam county.
