The tides reached 7.5 feet above MLL and this was about 6. This storm came a foot shy of Hurricane Isabel.
This is a night vision mode video of the back yard. In the video I state that "this is not even the highest tide that we're going to get." Actually, it was. At the time, the next high tide was predicted to be even higher.
This pic shows the absolute highest that the water got. Yes that dark shadow is water.
