DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — As cleanup efforts continue in Volusia County, Daytona Beach businesses are feeling the impacts of the two storms that made landfall within weeks of each other.

Most stores near the boardwalk and pier expect fewer visitors once the summer ends, but the storms have made that even more evident in recent days.

"It's been pretty slow," said Kim Barrett, who works at Michael's On The Beach.

Barrett has the day after Nicole well documented on her phone. 

While she scrolls through pictures of the storm's damage, she's just thankful the store she works in has kept its doors open post-landfall.

"So we took squeegees and pushed all the water out," Barrett described.

Michael's is one of several stores located on the city's boardwalk of Daytona Beach.

The destination is one of the city's most popular locations for tourists, and Michael's is one of the many gift shops where they can buy a souvenir before heading home.

"And I don't even know where that came from. Do you see those rocks," Barrett asked while pointing towards washed-up debris on the beach.

She has lived in Daytona beach for ten years and is amazed at how powerful the past two storms have been.

Being so close to the water, the gift shop was prepared with shutters to help keep their business safe.

Those efforts proved pivotal as powerful waves and winds pounded the coast.

Outside of the shop was a different situation.

"Ian didn't take out our stairs, but Nicole came. So it was a one-two punch. Nicole hit where Ian didn't," explained Barrett. 

Overall, Michael's had a few leaks in the building and sand from the ocean that made its way into the shop.

They've since been able to clean everything up.

Barrett and her coworkers say they're grateful for the shutters that helped keep the store safe.

"We feel pretty fortunate that neither one of them didn't hurt us too bad, considering what's happened along our coastline," she said.
