Residents who live near Savona and California boulevards in Port St. Lucie are no strangers to flooding.
“Every year there’s flooding at the end of the street,” resident Thomas Hayes said.
It’s been a little more than two weeks since heavy rain left their streets underwater.

With Tropical Storm Milton on its way to Florida, they’re preparing for more wet days next week.
“Well, the only thing I’m going to do is what I always do, prepare for a high category storm, put my shutters on, make sure everything is out of the yard,” Hayes said. “There’s really nothing you can do about the flooding, so you just got to make sure you have the water and the food and those kinds of things, and wait it out.”

The storm is expected to be a major hurricane when it makes landfall on Florida’s West Coast Wednesday. It will likely be a strong storm for our area as well.
