I received this Wednesday afternoon report from Dan K.

Good afternoon, just wanted to provide a quick update on the southern treasure Coast area as of Wednesday around 3:00 PM. I counted three of the larger beaches already closed in St. Lucie county. I also saw a notice that they are closing the bridges as well. Looks like access is going to be difficult. Here is a picture of a southern treasure Coast Beach. Any cuts that were there previously have been smoothed out by the high water. regards, Dan.

Thanks for the report, Dan.

I'll keep adding reports and updates as I get them.

The county is closing all beaches and parks beginning later Tuesday.

Parks will begin closing between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., and will remain closed until Friday, according to Titkanich. South County Regional Park has already been closed due to flooding. The beaches — Amber Sands, Golden Sands, Round Island, Seagrape, Tracking Station, Treasure Shores, Turtle Trail and Wabasso — will close between 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, and stay closed until they're safe to reopen, officials said.
