My part of South Florida was lucky that Tropical Storm Fay didn't do too much damage. At my home it looks like I picked up about 8 inches of water. While this is a lot, it was spread over time and didn't produce the flooding we've seen about 90 minutes to the north of my area.
The rains have changed the landscape at the beach. Mainly a lot of sand has gone back into the ocean. This has "flattened" out the beach a bit. Where there was a slope before, there's now just flat sand. This also makes it easier for waves to move further inland. Over time ever beach must be replenished with sand but this is time consuming and costly. Nevertheless, it's an important expense for a region that relies heavily on tourism.
