EUSTIS, Fla. — Heavy rainfall caused substantial flooding Sunday night, submerging portions of U.S. Highway 441 and several streets in downtown Eustis. Authorities are urging residents to avoid the affected areas.
Mid-Sunday evening numerous vehicles became stranded on U.S. Highway 441 as rising water reached above bumpers, while others attempted to slowly navigate through the flooded roadway. Downtown intersections, including the frequently flooded Orange Avenue and Bay Street, were also underwater.
Storm drains downtown were seen overflowing, with water gushing out instead of draining away. Officials also received reports of flooding inside homes near the downtown area.
