People came out to gawk at the flood waters at Safety Harbor Waterfront Park on Wednesday.
Waves were lapping over the sidewalks and could be knee-deep in some places.
Some were wakeboarding across it, others were going for a run, splashing around as if it was a routine day.
Kylee Joseph and her family live in the area.
They came out to get some fresh air after hunkering down while Idalia passed.
"I kind of slept through it honestly. Really fortunate that, you know, we didn't get a direct hit. And hopefully everybody further north is doing OK, and staying safe,” Joseph said.
Joseph added that her family noticed a bunch of trash that the storm spit out from the Gulf onto shore.
