Flash Floods Slam Central Florida Cities

Relentless rain hammered Central Florida into Monday, unleashing flash floods that stranded drivers, swamped roads and flooded homes. The National Weather Service called it a “particularly dangerous situation,” reporting up to 18 inches in Lake County and 13 in Brevard. Flash flood emergencies covered Eustis and Mount Dora, with warnings to seek higher ground. Meteorologist Megan Tollefsen said totals were “definitely not normal,” and some areas, including Eustis and Titusville, saw one‑in‑200‑year rainfall. In Titusville, reports cited inundated homes and stranded cars, and Mount Dora issued a boil‑water notice after a water line break that appeared related to flooding.
