Summary

Heavy rain of up to 2 feet in southern Brevard County caused severe flash flooding in Palm Bay, Melbourne, West Melbourne and Barefoot Bay, Florida, with two deaths reported; Palm Bay police confirmed one death, and the victims have been identified in some accounts as Joshua Bennett, 34, and Archie Richards, 78. Emergency crews used boats and high-water vehicles to rescue hundreds, and one family reported 38 inches of water in their living room. Roads, schools and public facilities closed, and officials warned flooding could persist after rain stopped. Flooding also affected St. Lucie, Martin and Palm Beach counties. Substitute polling sites were set up for 21 polling places across eight counties, with six in Brevard and seven in St. Lucie, after Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency.
