From Surfside PD:
Surfside is experiencing hurricane force winds, heavy rain, and flooding in areas of Collins, Harding and the residential neighborhoods. High tide (King) is at 1:20 pm, so flooding will increase. We have many trees, signs and wires down. There of course is no power. Bal Harbor PD and Indian Creek PD generators have failed while our antique Surfside model is still kicking providing us lighting. We also have damage to several police cars, flat tires and broken out windows. The PW garage door is severely damaged and is secured by heavy equipment on both sides. The Public Works garage has been blocked off to personnel. Lobby doors have been secured with flex cuffs. All personnel are hunkered down inside the Town Hall. There have been no injuries. There also have been injuries reported by residents. Most of MD Fire Rescue equipment is on the mainland in North Miami and will be available after the storm. The PD and PW crew here will remain until tomorrow when the storm is expected to finally pass.
