The Brief Seniors in Cape Canaveral are prepping for potential tropical storm impacts. What they're saying:Residents say these are band-aid solutions, but they’re asking the city to help them prevent flooding in the first place. But you have to take care of the whole wound," said Lue Drake, who’s a Cape Canaveral resident that deals with flooding. A study is also underway to determine whether a permanent pump would help alleviate the flooding around that main ditch. They say they've been trying for nearly five years to fix the flooding with city assistance and are struggling to get anywhere.
