Xylophone's theory predicted tides in the interstellar dark matter, based on the initial conditions during galactic condensation; and ripples in these tides would produce clear lanes, spaces emptier than normal space, where travel would be easier.

Forecasters predicted high tides, strong waves, and up to 6 inches (150 mm) of rain on the island, although exact post-storm totals are not known.

But while the Weather Service issued "very strong warnings" that bad weather was coming, it did not predict high and possibly deadly tides, said Linda Shelley, the state's chief emergency management official.

The National Weather Service said coastal flood warnings would remain through this morning and predicted tides two to four feet above normal and flooding in low-lying shore areas, well short of the nine-foot tides and heavy floods that swept away homes and gouged out beaches across the region in the earlier storm.

About 62 constituents are of sufficient size to be considered for possible use in marine tide prediction, but sometimes many less even than that can predict tides to useful accuracy.

It is stated that from 1924 up to the 1950s the Institute was responsible for predicting tides for two-thirds of the world.

Local emergency management officials predicted tides of up to 5 feet (1.5 m) above normal with coastal flooding.

The storm was named for Lieutenant Stephen Martin Saxby, a naval instructor and amateur astronomer who, based on his astronomical studies, had predicted extremely high tides in the North Atlantic Ocean on October 5, 1869, which would produce storm surges in the event of a storm.
