Shore Boulevard Is Underwater
After a tornado blows through downtown, flood waters reach bars and businesses along the Gulfport, Florida, coast.
Shore Boulevard needs a new name today. Subermerged Boulevard is more apt.
There is two to three feet of water along the boulevard, from O'Maddy's to the Gulfport Recreation Center, after Tropican Storm Andrea sent a twister through downtown.
The water has reached buildings and floods the entryway of the popular O'Maddy's bar and restaurant.
