Hurricane Milton: Florida neighborhood still flooded weeks after storm hit
SUMMARY: Five weeks after Hurricane Milton, parts of Valia County remain submerged, with floodwaters still 4 to 5 feet deep on Lane Road. Residents are facing numerous issues, including disrupted septic tanks and water wells. The water is rising due to a drainage system installed in 2017, which redirects water from a commercial area into Miller Lake, exacerbating the flooding. Neighbors believe this system is malfunctioning and fear further damage, especially with another storm approaching. They’ve sought help from local authorities, but no solutions have been offered. They urge officials to seal the drainage pipe to prevent further flooding.
Five weeks to the day since Hurricane Milton tore across central Florida, one area in Volusia County is still underwater.
