Major cities may be impacted by river flooding for several weeks following a 1 in 1000-year flash flooding event
Over 200,000 residents in Melbourne, West Melbourne, and Palm Bay were at risk for life-threatening flash flooding on November 2. Meteorologist Jessie Schaper with the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Melbourne says major cities along the St. Johns River Basin, including Jacksonville, could experience river flooding in the next several weeks as a result.
