Santa Rosa County remains under a flash flood warning until 7:15 p.m., but local roadways are already overflowing with stormwater.
Flooded ditches along East Bay Boulevard/Hwy. 399 are causing rainwater to spill over onto road ways in the vicinity of Grand Bay Estates Subdivision and between Edgewood Drive and Bergren Road.
Avenida de Sol was closed overnight but was reopened early Tuesday morning.
The entrance to Holley By the Sea Subdivision at Sunrise Drive has been covered with water after two holding ponds breached their banks. The subdivision’s entrance at Coral Street also has some water on the roadway.
Some of the worst flooding is taking place in Sound Hammock Subdivision on the south side of U.S. 98. Homewowners have placed sandbags outside their homes in an effort to prevent or mitigate flooding.
More photos and details will be posted shortly.
