Supermoon causes flooding along South Florida's coastline

Another high tide expected Monday night

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Sunday evening's supermoon led to tidal flooding along South Florida's coastline.

Indian Creek Drive was shut down for hours Monday morning at 33rd Street in Miami Beach Monday morning because of severe flooding.

Residents who were trying to get to work or class said they were frustrated because they had to find a way around the water.

"I just feel bad for the residents in the building that have to commute to work and back. I mean, the cars get ruined," Miami Beach resident Estrella Lima said.

Miami Beach is currently in the early stages of a $400 million project that will help prevent flooding . In fact, part of the city already has pumps to help with the issue, but there are still some parts of the beach where there's a lot of flooding.

The five-year storm water pump program is expected to bring 50 new pumps and major relief for some of the hardest hit areas.

Fort Lauderdale Beach also saw its share of flooding. Another high tide is expected Monday evening.
