I live in San Marco... on River Road actually, which literally had the waves from the river crashing up against the front doors of our buildings.
Honestly, as far as San Marco goes I count myself lucky... the water seems to have only risen to a little over two inches inside and didn't linger too long. It'll be a long time before the place is livable again, but I think I'll be able to salvage most of my stuff.
Our buildings are elevated so the subsequent floods from tidal factors and such after the initial surge haven't been getting back in, but a lot of the community is just sitting in a lake right now.
I'm about to head out and buy a bunch of supplies, and I plan to wade my way to the apartment tomorrow morning around 11:00 while the tides are low... gonna clean what I can and see if I can prevent a super destructive outbreak of mold (with no power for the foreseeable future the lack of AC is going to make mold an immediate problem). It's a ~100 year old building with mold and dry rot issues already, so it may wind up needing to be gutted.

That's harsh. Good luck. I've been considering moving to San Marco or back to Riverside but now though.....perhaps more into the interior of those neighborhoods and not right on the river.

Just learned from the landlord that they're going to have to completely gut the bottom two apartments (one of which I live in), floors and walls. I suppose on the bright side I'll wind up with a new apartment and not paying rent in the meantime, but it looks like I'll have to move for a bit.
