The flooding damaged several homes and businesses, leaving residents and owners frustrated.
“If they go through slowly, it’s ok. It’s when they come rushing to see the big waves that’s when it floods the inside the store, it gets bad,” said Ken Hall of the Pepboys at Jacksonville Beach.
Action News Jax told reported in early May that the Florida Department of Transportation proposed improvements to reduce flooding along 3rd Street and surrounding areas.
