10.52 inches of rain fell in two days, the most for this week of the year since records began in 1923. The next wettest, 8.20 inches, fell in 2023.
Edgewater’s center stands about 14 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 10 ft to 70 ft, a difference of 60 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Anastasia Formation (sand, limestone), from the Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.
Sand, limestone. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

Edgewater has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 90° in July; winter nights fall to about 48° in January. About 51 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Edgewater normally reaches 76° and falls to 58°. The record high is 86°, in 2008; the record low 38°, in 1963. The most rain on this date, 4.09 in, fell in 2001.
