Summary

Days of torrential rain caused severe flooding across St. Lucie, Okeechobee and surrounding Treasure Coast and South Florida counties. Roads were closed and impassable, dozens of vehicles were stranded, and some homes lost power or sewer service. The Vitalia community in Port St. Lucie and Valencia Cay at Riverland were among the hardest hit, with residents evacuated by police, emergency crews and FWC officers using swamp buggies and kayaks. St. Lucie County declared a local state of emergency and opened its Emergency Operations Center; the county handled 120 high-water rescues and calls. Port St. Lucie received about 16.7 inches of rain from Nov. 1 to 3. Officials said water could take days to recede, and a second pump was deployed in Vitalia to remove an estimated 16,000 gallons per minute. The South Florida Water Management District issued an emergency order for seven counties to speed canal and infrastructure repairs.
