– A popular Clay County restaurant has reopened Saturday after experiencing flooding from Tropical Storm Nicole.
“Definitely not as prepared as we were for Ian because it was just a tropical storm. But all of our docks were submerged. We experienced higher flooding with Nicole than we did in Ian, so it almost got to our upper dining deck as well. We’re very surprised,” Manager Danielle Lawley said. Although Nicole caught the restaurant off guard, Lawley said they will be more precautious the next time a storm comes around.Other areas of Clay County were also returning back to normal as floodwaters started to recede. Clay County residents were out-and-about in Spring Park in Green Cove Springs on Saturday, which wasn’t the case Thursday because the area was entirely flooded.
