Genie DePonte, of Marine Way in Delray Beach, had her grandson take this photo of her and her friend, Gayle Clark, using a neighbor's kayak Sept. 3 to travel down Marine Way. DePonte said the high tide at about 2 p.m., combined with extra oomph from the king tides and the wind from Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas piled up to 3 feet of water on her stretch of Marine Way. The water was taller than the top of her boots, she said. Clark, in the front of the kayak, later posted the photo on her Facebook page.
John Miller, of Delray Beach, drove up to Boynton Beach in the early afternoon of Sept. 3 to check on his boat. He keeps it docked on a finger canal off Rider Road. The area floods during high tides and especially on days of king tides when there's a major hurricane 100 miles offshore. Neighbors cast off from their backyards to catch jack fish swimming on the walkways.
Harry Woodworth lives along the Intracoastal Waterway in Boynton Beach in a home tbat is hurricane-hardened to withstand winds up to 129 mph. He took these photos outside his Boynton Beach house at high tide time, 1:40 p.m., Sept. 3. The first shows the view looking north to the Boynton Beach Inlet and the second shows his and his neighbor's docks under 3 feet of water.
