St. Augustine residents can report street flooding and clogged storm drains online as they face potential high winds, heavy rain and above-average high tides brought on by Hurricane Michael.
Officials say public works crews are out in the field monitoring neighborhoods for flooding.
But to make sure they don’t miss anything, a form is now available on the city’s website that the public can use to call attention to issues with standing water. It's at the top of the city's website at www.CityStAug.com.
Beach Driving Prohibited
Driving on all St. Johns County beaches is temporarily prohibited because of Hurricane Michael. County officials say abnormally high tides and elevated surf has made it unsafe to drive on the beach.
The ban could remain in place through Thursday. Beach goers can check the St. Johns County Reach-the-Beach app for daily beach driving updates.
