The doors face the lake and the wind drives the water under the door. We still need to use the door to go outside but need to stop the large puddles after storms.

if the door opens out, it is a simple rubber strip something like this below...well... do a search at lowes or home depot for weatherstripping and then door sweeps, to get ideas.

They sell french doors with a "jamb" or "stop" on the bottom which might help in an extreme weather situation. Basically a lip on the bottom of the door like your sides that the door butts up to when closed. Only downside is it isn't wheel chair or any wheeled object friendly.

Adjust the Threshold up- if you can. Install a Storm door- feel the door bottom, should be a rubbers seal on the bottom.

The easy fix, buy a sweep and put it on the outside instead of the inside. Make sure you can align it to seal up against the threshold.
