Default Villages' flooding from Milton.

I recall various golf cart tunnels flooded the last time we had a serious storm here.

Sure would like to know ahead of going out when Milton leaves which golf cart tunnels as well as paths are impassible due to water. And trees blocking roads might be of interest. I recall a power line down and out in the street a few storms ago on a street off CR472.

I had to turn around so as not to get electrocuted as did all the other people in various types of vehicles.

No worries there will be pics of golf cart in the tunnel because it didn’t look that deep.

I recall I could not get to Southern Trace Shopping Center as the tunnel under CR466 was under water. Or maybe it was another one in that area. I did have to turn around and go by car.

Look carefully before you go into any tunnel.

The tunnel just south of 466 that goes under Morse just north of the bridge going into LSL is a notorious flooder. A permanent sump pump has been installed inside a box just across the cart path on the Lake Sumter side of the tunnel.

Did it flood with Debbie, we got over 10” hope the new pump helps that tunnel

Would be nice to know for curiosity sake, I suppose. If the storm passes the way it is currently predicted (predictions change and reality matters) then I'll likely be out tomorrow morning to check things out. It will be easy enough to not enter any tunnels with water.

A large branch from an oak tree had fallen on the power line.

Wasn’t there for Debbie. Was there for Irma and Ian and flooded both times. Irma was pretty bad.

All depends on how long it rains and how strong the winds are. You may know sometime Thursday afternoon.
