'All contaminated with sewage'; Florida neighborhood still underwater

JENSEN BEACH — As the Treasure Coast dries out following historic rain and flooding last week, parts of a Jensen Beach neighborhood off Northeast Skyline Drive Nov. 10 remained squarely underwater. Water covered portions of Northeast Hyline Drive, as well as parts of Northeast Cheri Drive and Northeast Carrol Court, just east of Northeast Savannah Road. Black-and-white “Road Closed” signs blocked vehicular traffic, and residents said a number of homes experienced feet, not inches, of water intrusion. National Weather Service officials are calling the historic Nov. 1-3 rainfall and flooding across the Treasure Coast a 100- to-200-year event. Todd Doss, 59, used cinder blocks and a step ladder to access the front door of his home. A yellow fire hydrant nearby was only halfway visible in the water. “The water started rising and then I think right after it stopped raining we were like so happy because it was just barely up to our front door,” Doss said. The following morning, he said, it was sunny but “the water just rose even higher because of the reservoir or something overflowed Savannah Road and that’s what scared us.” Less-than-pleasant-smelling flood water Nov. 10 remained in his enclosed Florida room where he
