Even if Hurricane Ian doesn't hit South Florida directly, some residents are worried about the heavy rains that could come with it.

It's especially a concern for residents in low-lying areas like Cutler Bay which saw heavy and long-standing flooding after a tropical system just before the summer season started.

"We were up to here, basically up to here, and then the wakes of the cars passing by would splash all the way up to here," Juan Lopez of Cutler Bay said.
