Muggy and freezing cold! is how daughter Riya and Eela Bhanji described their late-morning stroll in the downtown area. We didnt expect it to be this cold, Eela added.<\/p>\n
More than an inch and a half of rain caused flooding in some downtown streets, and high tide kicked in just after 9 a.m., swallowing up the shore on the beach.<\/p>\n

Locals tell Action News Jax theyre used to the weather. I think its kind of expected, Johan Desmet said. He has lived in the area for five years and the dunes he used to visit are long gone.<\/p>\n
In about the last year, everything has washed away, he explained. But for now, everyones doing what they can to stay dry and enjoy the ancient city. Its a nice area, Eela pointed out. Its pretty historical. <\/p>\n
There will be another high tide later Tuesday night, just before 9:45 p.m.<\/p>\n
