Description:

Hurricane Irma made landfall along the southwest coast of Florida on September 10, 2017 with a sustained wind speed of 100 kts, causing extensive coastal erosion and overwash on Keewaydin Island. Pre- and post-LiDAR data analysis shows that the northern and central sections of the island sustained foredune erosion and vegetation loss, while the southern-most spit experienced minimal erosion. Analysis of LiDAR data since 2004 also show persistent erosion for most of the island while southern end is continuously prograding in the direction of the longshore current.
