SIGNIFICANT FLOODING EVENT BACK TO YOU. THE MAYOR OF TITUSVILLE HAS DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY AFTER WIDESPREAD FLOODING. HE SAYS FIRST RESPONDERS GOT MORE THAN 450 CALLS AS NEARLY 15IN OF RAIN FELL OVERNIGHT. WESH TWO JUSTIN SCHECKER JOINS US LIVE NOW FROM SINGLETON AVENUE IN TITUSVILLE. JUSTIN, YOU’RE OUTSIDE AN ANIMAL HOSPITAL THAT IS CLOSED TODAY. THAT’S RIGHT. THE SINGLETON AVENUE ANIMAL HOSPITAL WAS CLOSED TODAY BECAUSE THE PARKING LOT PARKING LOT WILL TAKE A LOOK. IT LOOKS AND FEELS MORE LIKE A POND. IT’S ABOUT ANKLE DEEP RIGHT NOW, THE WATER. BUT EARLIER IT WAS SO BAD THAT THE PET OWNERS AND HOSPITAL STAFF COULD NOT ACCESS THIS BUILDING. IF WE PAN OVER TO MY RIGHT HERE ON THE ROADWAY, THERE’S STILL SOME STANDING WATER. AT THIS HOUR. WE SEE A NUMBER OF TOW TRUCKS OUT AND ABOUT. MOVING VEHICLES BECAME ABANDONED OVERNIGHT AND IN THE NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS. THE CLEANUP IS JUST BEGINNING. I HAD BINS WITH CHRISTMAS STUFF HERE THAT WE RUSHED INSIDE BECAUSE THEY’RE LIKE 30 YEAR OLD ORNAMENTS. I DIDN’T WANT TO LOSE THEM. CHELSEA BAILEY SAYS SHE MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME IN HER JEEP SUNDAY EVENING AS THE WATER FROM THE INTENSE RAINFALL STARTED TO RISE IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT WHEN IT GOT SO BAD, NOBODY COULD MAKE IT THROUGH. THERE WAS NOBODY THAT COULD HAVE COME TO THE RESCUE. THERE WAS A SHELTER IN PLACE AND A DO NOT DRIVE. THIS TITUSVILLE HOMEOWNER TELLS US SHE JUST HAD HER POOL CLEANED A FEW DAYS AGO. NOW IT IS FILLED WITH RAINWATER, DIRT AND DEBRIS. MY POOL OVERFLOWED DRAMATICALLY AND SO LIKE WE HAD IT COMING IN FROM THE FRONT AND THE BACK. AND SO THE FLOORS WERE LITERALLY LIKE LIFTED AND LIKE THERE’S STILL WATER SEEPING UP, EVEN THOUGH I’VE SQUEEGEED 18 TIMES AS SHE TRIES TO DRY OUT THE FLOODED FLOORS INSIDE HER HOME, RICHARD ZYDOWICZ ARRIVED AROUND NOON TO FIX HER GARAGE DOOR. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM PEOPLE HAVE OUT HERE IS THE WAKE OF THE WATER OF PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH. A LOT OF THESE DOORS GOT PUSHED IN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST DROVE THROUGH HERE AS FAST AS THEY CAN, AND THEY THEY’RE RUINING PEOPLE’S HOUSES, HE SAYS. THE FLOODING THAT OVERWHELMED NEIGHBORHOODS AND CAUSED CARS TO BE ABANDONED ON ROADS OVERNIGHT IS UNLIKE ANYTHING HE’S SEEN. THIS AREA OF BREVARD COUNTY IN MORE THAN 50 YEARS. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR THE REST OF THE DAY? THE REST OF THE DAY, JUST GO AROUND, GET PEOPLE’S DOORS OPENING AND BACK BACK ONLINE. WHILE SHE KNOWS THE CLEANUP WILL TAKE SOME TIME, BAILEY SAYS SHE’S NOT SURE IF HER HOUSE IS PROTECTED BY FLOOD INSURANCE. AND I’M HOPING THAT ONCE EVERYTHING’S DRIED AND THE POWER IS BACK ON AND WE CAN SEE HOW BAD IT IS THAT IT’S NOT THE WORST. AND BACK OUT HERE, LIVE AS LONG AS THEY CAN SAFELY GET INTO THE BUILDING. THE SINGLETON AVENUE ANIMAL HOSPITAL IS HOPING TO REOPEN TOMORROW. MEANWHILE, THE TITUSVILLE MAYOR SAYS THEY’RE MOBILIZING ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO BEGIN THE RECOVERY PROCESS. AND THEY’RE ALSO REACHING OUT TO LEADERS IN TALLAHASSEE TO BRING IN ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. COVERING BREVARD COUNTY. LIVE IN TITUSVILLE.

I’ve never seen anything like that ever.”Many roads remained impassable on Monday. Some drivers attempted to navigate through the flooded streets, creating wakes, while others were unable to proceed. The Sherwood neighborhood in Titusville resembled a river after a nearby pond overflowed.Tom Holley, who has lived in the neighborhood for decades, said he has never seen it get this bad. “I had 4 inches in my garage, which it’s never gotten in, in my garage before,” Holley said.Residents are concerned about the possibility of more rain exacerbating the flooding. Lindsey Lengefeld, who also lives in Sherwood, said, “I would hate for more rain to bring the waters of higher. I know a lot of the neighbors — they had water come all the way up to the door.”The mayor of Titusville reported receiving more than 450 calls for service Sunday night, all of which were addressed. Efforts to manage the flooding and assess the damage are ongoing, with the county also working in some areas.
