Low lying areas of Rio Del Mar are under water today. Constant rainfall over the last several days has left sidewalks, streets and yards under water. Many residents are suffering water damage inside their homes as cars drive through the massive puddles causing water to spash the front of their houses and leek inside. Folks are using sandbags to to help absorb some of the water but they're also keeping an eye on the waves as some are breaking on or over the seawall at Rio Del Mar Beach.
