Yes, this has happened on a couple of streets here in DeLuna that are still flooded 3 days post Milton. The streets are next to the postal station, which has a huge marsh/preserve behind it that is fuller than we’ve ever seen it. The water level is 1-2 ft from the top of the 8 ft wall surrounding it. It looks like a lake now. Every heavy rainstorm or hurricane/TS event these streets are badly flooded. We personally live a couple blocks from the postal station, but on the opposite side of Marsh Bend Trail (our main through road), and no streets have flooded by us. They have some major drainage problems that aren’t being addressed that are very frustrating for those residents.
