She works at Beach Zone, a souvenir store on Hollywood Beach. Martinez said that on the broadwalk, they&#8217;re no strangers to flooding. Three weeks ago, it flooded in front of her store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was amazing, we can&#8217;t believe. All the water was coming, and they said, &#8216;Are you scared?&#8217; Of course,\u201d Martinez said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even with sandbags, she said water has gone inside the store before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn&#8217;t know about what can I do, but now we are prepared everything,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cWe have towels, we have an item to put outside the store, and we have sandbags.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood has already seen significant flooding from recent King Tides. City leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodfl.org\/m\/newsflash\/home\/detail\/1870\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">are urging people<\/a> to prepare by moving their cars to higher ground and protecting their property.<\/p>\n<p>Down the boardwalk, employees at Hausmash are getting used to working at the beach. They&#8217;re a newer business, but they think they&#8217;re ready for the next high tide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can see there&#8217;s still protectors on the beach, and we&#8217;re using similar tools to fight, so I believe our ways will work,\u201d Merey Sarybek said.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez said the city has come out to the broadwalk, going store to store, making sure business owners have what they need and are prepared. They&#8217;re staying ready now, so they don&#8217;t have to get ready when it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that the next day we can open, we don&#8217;t know, all depends, of course, the water but we are prepared,\u201d Martinez said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several South Florida communities are preparing for the possibility of flooding over the next several days because of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434521,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250,10173],"class_list":["post-434520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-severe-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434520"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434520\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
