FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – High tides are causing flooding problems for a third day in South Florida.
Vehicles that were stuck in water were towed from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale as South Florida's coastline continues to deal with the effects of Sunday's supermoon.
The supermoon led to tidal flooding for the past three days. Some people who were headed to work near Las Olas Boulevard Wednesday morning had to take off their shoes to trek through the water.
Several residents in the area told Local 10 News that they believe the flooding is worse than in past years. But they said there isn't much they can do other than move their cars around every year around the same time.
"That's the situation. I mean, there is not much you can do," one resident said. "You can move the car and put it on the other side, but there's nothing else we can do…. we could get a kayak."
Flooding was also reported Wednesday morning along Indian Creek Drive in Miami Beach as water crept up over the sea wall and into the road.
Police were forced to close Indian Creek Drive between 29th and 40th streets during the periods of high tide.
Drivers were detoured to Pine Creek Drive or Alton Road.
The city of Miami Beach has installed pumps in areas where there is low elevation, but residents said the pumps can't fight Mother Nature.
"I don't know. I don't see think we can fix nothing with this stuff," Miguel Gonzalez said. "You know, when the moon rises, it's going to be the same."
