Hard hit Florida community still grappling with historic rain event

PORT ST. LUCIE ― As parts of roads in the Vitalia at Tradition community remained underwater Nov. 6, some residents considered themselves lucky as rising water got unnervingly close to their homes. They reported going without power or being evacuated, but said things could have been worse. “It's been horrendous, but they have been wonderful here helping us out,” said Linda Gioia, 79, at her Southwest Chestwood Avenue home near the clubhouse. “The police came, the fire department, the National Guard.” National Weather Service officials are calling the historic Nov. 1-3 rainfall and flooding across the Treasure Coast a 100- to-200-year event. The most rainfall across the area during the 60-hour time period from midnight Nov. 1 through noon Nov. 3 was 16.7 inches in Port St. Lucie, about 2 miles west of the St. Lucie River, said NWS meteorologist Kole Fehling. Officer Brittany McNally, Port St. Lucie Police spokesperson, said in a 1 a.m. Nov. 6 update the water was receding and about 25 percent of Vitalia remained without power. Gioia said they lost power for three days. “We had to throw everything out of the refrigerator, but you know something, we survived, we managed,” she said. Gara Baker,

Chimp sanctuary delivers an ape's food by drone amid Florida floods

A Florida chimpanzee sanctuary had to deliver food to one of its 200 apes by drone this week because the property was swamped by heavy rain . But the animals stayed safe, and the water finally was receding significantly on Saturday, the organization said. As rainstorms soaked southeast and central Florida from Sunday through Tuesday, Save the Chimps' care houses were secure on high ground, CEO Ana Paula Tavares said in a statement. Some veterinarians and other employees stayed overnight on the 150-acre (61-hectare) property near Fort Pierce to ensure the animals' care. Canals overflowed and submerged the internal roads that normally are used to deliver 3,000 pounds (1,361 kilograms) of chimp food per day via golf carts, facilities director Mark Yohannan said by phone. A high-clearance swamp buggy helped but soon broke down. And one chimp, a 38-year-old named Kaleb, had remained in an outdoor area that was cut off by water. The organization bought a delivery drone some time ago for just such an emergency, Yohannan said. Staffers used the device to bring Kaleb food and blankets until he decided on his own to head for somewhere more accessible. Save the Chimps captured video of Kaleb munching a

Florida residents trapped by gators and snakes in floodwaters: ‘It’s like an apocalyptic-type event’

Floridians experienced an ‘apocalyptic-type event’ caused by heavy rains that left high floodwaters Getty Residents of a Florida community have been trapped in their homes for days by a historic rainstorm that left floodwaters high enough for fish, venomous snakes and alligators to swim right up to homes. Floridians in West Palm Beach’s Riverwalk community have been trapped in their homes, surrounded by nearly 10 inches of floodwater, after what was described as a one-in-1,000-year rain event dumped heavy showers across the region earlier this week. “It’s like an apocalyptic-type event,” resident Don Gentile told WPTV. Some parts of Palm Beach County were left with two to three feet of floodwater earlier this week after days of heavy rain. Roads were closed, and several polling locations were forced to relocate on Election Day Tuesday due to the flooding, according to 12 News. Other residents of the Riverwalk community said the flooding was unlike anything they’d ever seen before, as every street in the gated community had significant levels of flooding.
