MEGAN THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, BREAKING NEWS THIS MORNING MEGAN JUST MENTIONED THERE A LOT OF ROAD CLOSURES THAT COULD BE IMPACTING YOUR MORNING DRIVE, INCLUDING SEVERAL LAKE COUNTY WHERE WE KNOW AT LEAST TWO ROADS WERE WASHED OUT. YEAH. ARE YOU SEEING THIS VIDEO HERE? WE’RE CONTINUING OUR TEAM COVERAGE WITH WESH TWO. LINDSAY LOHAN WHO’S THERE LIVE RIGHT NOW. LINDSAY, NOW THAT THE SUN IS UP, WE’RE REALLY SEEING MORE OF THAT DAMAGE. AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. WE ARE ON NORTH DONNELLY STREET IN MOUNT DORA RIGHT NOW. IT’S BLOCKED OFF AT LIMIT AVENUE. BUT WE WERE ALLOWED TO COME HERE. TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH. AND YOU CAN SEE THE ROAD JUST GAVE WAY LAST NIGHT AFTER YOU HEARD ERIC SAY MOUNT DORA GOT ABOUT 18IN OF RAIN. AND AS WE CAREFULLY WALK UP TO THE EDGE HERE, YOU NOTICE AS WE PAN OVER THAT WHITE CAR I’VE BEEN REFERENCING, WE ARE NOW GETTING A VERY GOOD LOOK AT IT. AN OFFICER WITH MOUNT DORA POLICE TOLD ME THAT NOBODY WAS IN THAT CAR AT THE TIME. IT HAD FLOODED OUT ON THIS ROAD ALREADY AND WAS LEFT ABANDONED. BUT LOOK AT ALL THE CONCRETE, THE RAILINGS, THE WOODEN WALKWAY RIGHT HERE. THAT IS ALL JUST COLLAPSED. AND WE’RE ACTUALLY HEARING WHAT IS A CREEK, BUT IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A RUSHING RIVER COME BY AS ALL THIS WATER IS DRAINING. I TALKED TO A HOMEOWNER WHO LIVES JUST OFF OF OLD EUSTIS, WHICH JUST CONNECTS WITH LIMIT AVENUE, AND HE SAID THAT THIS WAS WORSE THAN WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED FROM MILTON LAST NIGHT. I’D LIKE YOU TO TAKE A LISTEN TO HIM. I’M PRAISING GOD BECAUSE I HAVE ALMOST NO DAMAGE AT MY HOUSE. MY WALL WITHSTOOD THE WHOLE WHOLE THING, AND I’VE GOT A LITTLE DEBRIS TO CLEAN UP IN THE YARD. BUT MY NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE ROAD PROBABLY HAVE 10 TO $15,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. SO WE’RE GOING TO GO TRY TO TALK TO THOSE NEIGHBORS A LITTLE BIT LATER ON. BUT ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT THE CITY OF MOUNT DORA CREWS WERE OUT HERE LOOKING AT THIS MORNING WERE THESE POWER LINES, BECAUSE THE POWER POLES ARE DOWN IN THE GROUND HERE, AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE STRUCTURALLY SOUND. ONE OF THE WORKERS SAID HE THOUGHT SO, BUT THEY WERE OUT HERE. IT’S PROBABLY BEEN ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO BECAUSE IT WAS STILL DARK AT THAT TIME. THEY ARE ALSO RIGHT NOW WORKING TO REPAIR A WATER MAIN BREAK, WHICH IS JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE HERE OF THIS BIG HOLE. SO RIGHT NOW, THE CITY OF MOUNT DORA, IF YOU LIVE HERE, YOU ARE UNDER A BOIL WATER. NOTICE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, SO WE’LL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE GET ANY UPDATES FROM THE CITY. RIGHT NOW WE ARE COVERING LAKE COUNTY, LIVE IN MOUNT DORA. LINDSAY SABLON, WESH TWO NEWS. ALL RIGHT, LINDSAY, AND WE WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE CONFIRMING TO US HERE AT WESH TWO NEWS THAT CLASSES WILL GO ON A SCHEDULE TODAY. BUSSES ARE GOING TO BE OUT ON THOSE ROADS, BUT MAY HAVE SOME DELAYS. AND THE DISTRICT LEADERS ARE TELLING PARENTS IF THEIR KIDS CANNOT MAKE IT TO LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL SAFELY, THIS ABSENCE WILL BE EXCUSED. WE ARE LEARNING THAT BREVARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE ALSO IN CLASS TODAY, SIMILAR TO LAKE, THE DISTRICT SAYS IF YOU CANNOT GET YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL DUE TO THE FLOODING, THEIR ABSENCE WILL BE EXCUSED. AND WHILE WE’RE TALKING, BREVARD COUNTY, MANY COMMUNITIES THERE ARE WAKING UP TO DAMAGE FROM FLOODING. AND THAT IN THAT SPOT, ESPECIALLY IN THE TITUSVILLE AREA. AND THAT’S WHERE WE FIND WESH TWO PAOLA TRISTAN ARUDA THIS MORNING. PAOLA, YOU’RE GETTING A CHANCE TO TALK TO PEOPLE THERE WHO LIVE IN THAT AREA. YEAH, RIGHT NOW I’M IN THE SHERWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD, AND YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THIS WATER ALL AROUND ME. AGAIN, THIS IS SHERWOOD DRIVE NEAR POINCIANA AVENUE, AND NEIGHBORS ARE STARTING TO COME OUT THEIR DOORS TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. AFTER LAST NIGHT’S RAINFALL, A LOT OF THEM TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. FOLKS. AGAIN, WALKING THROUGH, AND THEY’RE GROUPING UP, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY IF IT’S EVEN SAFE TO KIND OF CROSS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. AND I SPOKE TO ONE WOMAN WHO SAID THAT SHE HAS NEVER SEEN IT THIS BAD. AND LAST NIGHT’S RAINFALL WENT UP TO PEOPLE’S HOMES, THAT IT GOT TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS IN PEOPLE’S YARDS. IT WAS UP NEAR TREES. AND THEN IF WE CAN MOVE OVER TO THIS SIDE WHERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF. WHERE THAT DIRT LINE IS, THAT’S WHERE KIND OF THE WATER PUSHED INTO. AND WE ACTUALLY DID SPEAK TO ONE PERSON IN A DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE WERE IN EARLIER, HARRISON STREET, WHO TELLS ME THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN IT THIS BAD BEFORE. THE RAIN WAS COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION. WE GOT FLOODED PRETTY QUICK OUT HERE. I’VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS EVER IN MY LIFE, SO IT WAS KIND OF A LITTLE SCARY FOR ME. AND AGAIN, THAT ROAD THAT WAS HARRISON STREET AND A PORTION OF IT WAS BLOCKED OFF. WE SAW ONE VEHICLE THAT WAS ACTUALLY STUCK IN THE WATER. ONE WOMAN WENT BY WITH A POLICE OFFICER TO TRY TO GET BACK INTO THAT VEHICLE, BUT SHE SAID THERE WAS WATER ALL INSIDE OF THE CAR. NOW BACK HERE ALONG SHERWOOD DRIVE, YOU CAN SEE WE’RE STILL SEEING PLENTY OF THAT WATER POOLING ALONGSIDE, EVEN NEAR THE SIDES OF THE ROADS. IT’S A LITTLE BIT DEEPER. YOU CAN SEE IT’S UP TO MY ANKLES IN SOME SPOTS. SO THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE’RE STILL SEEING A LOT OF WATER HERE ALONG THE ROADWAYS. NOW WE’RE GOING TO BE TALKING TO NEIGHBORS. AND WE’LL BRING YOU THE VERY LATEST COMING UP IN THE NEXT HOUR FOR NOW COVERING BREVARD COUNTY. LIVE IN TITUSVILLE, PAOLA TRISTAN ARUDA. WESH TWO NEWS. ALL RIGHT, PAOLA.
