Early in the morning, water was covering the streets in Hollywood and was seeping into nearby businesses.
Video captured water on Franklin Street and Ocean Drive.
“The water was definitely high,” a resident said. “I would say about knee level. So I just finished cleaning the office filled up with water, so we brushed it out.”
Over the past few weeks, crews and residents put out sandbags and tiger dams ahead of the potential flooding.
But even with the proper preparations, the water can still be damaging
City leaders are urging people to prepare by moving their cars to higher ground and protecting their property.
“Salt water damages the car, so we need to drive all that way through Surf Road to get to all of our places, and it takes a long time,” a resident said.
