In the flood-prone Edgewood neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, residents are gearing up for a wet weekend as Tropical Depression Four , expected to eventually Tropical Storm Debby as it approaches South Florida.
Locals like George Bottino are heading to Floyd Hull Stadium to collect free sandbags to protect their homes.
"I had a bad experience last April," Bottino said. "We had 22 inches of rain come above the garage and into the house, destroying everything. I even lost my car to floodwaters."
This time, Bottino isn't taking any chances.
"I went to Floyd Park, loaded up some bags, and I'm getting ready because I think we're going to get a lot of rain," Bottino added.
