Flash floods inundated neighborhoods in Central Florida Sunday night, forcing people to abandon their cars in the streets. Flash flood warnings stretched across Brevard and Lake counties, with parts of Brevard getting more than 11 inches of rain on Sunday.

The city of Titusville seemed to take the brunt of the torrential rain as the storm system lingered over the area. Residents shared photos on social media of stranded cars and swamped streets.

Andrew Connors, Titusville’s mayor, said his city got as much as 15 inches of rain in 18 hours. He called it one of the heaviest rain events in the city in recent years.

The Titusville Fire Department said it received multiple reports of water in homes, and urged people to stay inside until the water recedes.

In Lake County, there were multiple reports of road closures, sinkholes and some roads being completely washed out.

The National Weather Service issued its highest level of flood alert for Eustis and Mount Dora, warning the flooding would create a “particularly dangerous situation.”

In Mount Dora that was a major road collapse, with local reports indicating that a car flipped over as Donnelly Street crumbled, no injuries were reported.

The city of Mount Dora announced that offices delayed opening until 10 a.m. EDT as crews assessed damage. The city also issued a boil water advisory for residents due to a water line break that crews were trying to locate and fix.

While the rain was ending by Monday morning, the flooding impacts were expected to continue for several hours.
