As for Orange County, at least 6 inches have fallen in the attractions area, Windermere, Pine Hills and Bithlo. And it's not done raining yet, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. A flood watch remains in effect for Volusia, Brevard, Lake, Orange and Seminole counties through noon.
"[The rain] is slowly going to taper off through late morning," meteorologist Tony Cristaldi said. In Volusia County, one of the hardest hit areas Tuesday night was New Smyrna Beach with crews of Public Works working all hours to dry the streets. Five pumps were helping clear water throughout the city, with two pumps just on Columbus Avenue, which historically gets the most damage, said Holly Smith, spokeswoman for the city.
