JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Severe thunderstorms brought a lot of rain to parts of Duval County on Monday night, including the Westside, which saw a deluge during the heavy rains.
The photo below shows flooding along Roosevelt Boulevard at the Edgewood Avenue overpass that brought traffic to a standstill.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office sent out a notice, urging people on the roads in the Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods to use caution due to the flooding.
Some of the flooding was near the intersections of College and Acosta streets. Hunter McClain, who lives in the area, says it’s flooding unlike he’s ever seen in the area.
“Not this deep. I’ve brought my surfboard up through the thing (street) before. A few years ago there were people out riding kayaks and stuff but this is pretty intense,” he said.
Bad flooding near College and Acosta St. I saw two cars stuck. One was a family with a mother and children. I called 911 and they say rescue is on their way. @wjxt4 pic.twitter.com/tm4IhfLF9r
