Weather can sure be fickle, especially here on the Space Coast! After record extended dry periods this winter and spring, many folks have been praying fervantly for rain! There were terrible fires threatening the local areas the past 4 weeks. The Federal FEMA head was visiting this week to address those problems, when all the prayers seemed to be suddenly answered... and then some!
NOW the east coast is suffering from passive flooding the past few days. Parts of Volusia and Daytona Beach have received over 24 inches in 3 days. North Brevard has received over 8 inches. They are now declaring historic flooding for non-tropical storms. People in the beach communities are navigating in boats and rafts as streets are all flooded. Over 1000 homes are flooded in Volusia. Yet even living on the coast, most property owners do not have flood insurance. A State of Emergency has been declared.
