Hurricane Irma made landfall on the Florida Gulf Coast before weakening and moving into the Southeast on Monday, September 11.
The direction of the winds from weakening Irma helped keep the low tide even lower along the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
Seen in this video is a shot of low tide on Monday, September 11 where the water was pushed out further in the ocean by Irma's winds.
In a storm surge event this would be called "negative storm surge." This means the water was pushed away from shore, rather than onto it.
