Residents in Pinellas County are preparing for possible impacts from the tropical system making its way toward Florida.
Many homeowners say they are a little concerned after experiencing flood issues with unnamed storms over the last month.
“To see that at the top, going over, and washing cars into it, yeah, it was concerning for sure,” said resident Simon Edwards.
Just a few weeks ago, a regular afternoon storm caused major flooding in the neighborhood along Burlington Avenue in St. Petersburg.
“It started overflowing it was washing cars into it, it was crazy and that’s nothing we had seen before…so clearly things are getting worse and that’s quite alarming,” said Edwards.
The Bear Creek Canal overflowed with debris, and water made its way into people’s homes.
With a new tropical system heading towards Florida, residents are concerned.
“But then this last rain brought this huge flood, so it’s definitely nerve-racking,” said Tiffani Clemmer, another resident.
Tiffani Clemmer said she’s preparing early.
