ORLANDO, Fla. – Parts of Central Florida have been dealing with flooding issues over the past week as rounds of heavy rain continue to hit the area as part of a stalled front.

The stalled front has not only helped to trigger storms, but it has supplied Central Florida abundant moisture for our typical afternoon sea breeze thunderstorms to use.

In the past seven days, Central Florida has racked up between 5 and 7 inches of rainfall, with more rain to come.

Last week, heavy rainfall caused some streets in Orlando’s Thornton Park neighborhood to flood.

“It looks like a river, in just 10-15 minutes. I couldn’t get out of my car,” resident Martha Torres said.

Floodwaters also struck the United Against Poverty center in Orlando after heavy rains drenched the area. Videos posted by the center show water still filling the parking lot and pouring into the building.

Residents of the Shadowbay neighborhood in Seminole County are upset with severe flooding after heavy rain in recent days caused water to cover North Shadowbay Boulevard and surrounding areas.

Mark Rodriguez, director of the Shadowbay Club Homeowner Association, described the flooding as the worst the community has ever experienced.

“Atrocious,” Rodriguez said. “(Thursday) night was the worst our community has ever been.”

Persistent rainfall has saturated the ground, leading to water backups throughout the neighborhood. News 6 has been following the ongoing flooding issue since April when a homeowner reportedly filled a drainage pipe with concrete.

Downtown Orlando resident Rose Davison said she’s been dealing with severe flooding in her backyard following recent rainfall.

“I can’t look anymore because I’m 87 years old, and this has broken my heart. I’ve put every dime I had into making this house beautiful, and it’s ruined,” Davison said.

Rain chances will stay elevated through the rest of the week with highs remaining below average in the upper 80s.
