Historic flooding<\/a> has left parts of Brevard and Lake counties in Florida under a state of emergency, with roads washed out and homes flooded after relentless rainfall.<\/p>\n

WFTV has been on the the scenes with continuous updates on this flooding that has caused significant damage, particularly in Titusville and Mount Dora, where US-1 and North Donnelly Street have been severely affected. Residents have been forced to evacuate, and many homes are underwater as emergency services work to assess and address the damage.<\/p>\n

In Brevard County, US-1 northbound in Cocoa is closed at Faye Boulevard, and the southbound Interstate 95 ramp to State Road 406 is also closed due to the flooding.<\/p>\n

A state of emergency<\/a> has been declared in Titusville, where residents are still battling floodwaters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no sight of them anymore, they are gone, but we will replant those fields,\u201d Brooke Hill said.<\/p>\n

FLOOD COVERAGE<\/p>\n

In Mount Dora, North Donnelly Street and Wolf Branch Road are closed after the roads were washed out. Officials have stated that repairs could take up to a year.<\/p>\n

The flooding has been described as worse than any hurricane damage experienced by some residents. Residents in Titusville described the flooding as a wave coming through their homes, with knee-high waters forcing them to evacuate. Vehicles have been stranded, and the flooding is considered unusual for the area, even during hurricanes.<\/p>\n

In Mims, floodwaters have invaded a motel on Irvin Drive, with neighbors working together to manage the situation. The city of Titusville is offering sandbags<\/a> to residents as flooding is expected to continue.<\/p>\n

Drone footage shows dramatic scenes of land crumbling behind homes in Mount Dora, and a car flipped upside down on a washed-out road. No injuries have been reported, but the damage is extensive.<\/p>\n
