Residents living along Canal Drive are no strangers to flooding caused by lunar high tides. On October 18th, the high tide in excess of six feet caused the waters of the Carolina Beach Yacht Basin to flood Canal Drive and connecting streets. The Town attempted to control the flow of traffic as vehicles can cause the flood waters to wash up in homes. The salt water can damage vehicles and fines can be imposed for entering the area.
