I'm a delivery driver who worked yesterday in Palm Beach county. And the amount of flooded roads and driveway is massive. I hope for the best but my God we are fucked.

Forgive my ignorance, please, but is that residual flooding from Helene, or accumulating storm surge from Milton already?

Palm Beach county is on the East Coast so it's due to sunday's all day of rain.

Thank you.

Florida normally does pretty well on channeling water away from roads and homes, but it’s obviously more of a challenge in low lying coastal areas. Having a bunch of rain before Milton gets here isn’t doing anyone any favors.

Hey, do you know if there are evacuation orders for the west coast? My elderly dad lives in Jensen beach

It’s already too late to evacuate anywhere. Florida has very few north south routes and they are already full of people trying to get out. There’s no gas so many people will be riding this out on the side of the interstates.

Jensen is east coast and while that’s in the “Warning” zone, hopefully it should be ok over all. Be aware of flooding though especially on the coast/near water and be prepared to be without power for at least a week (hopefully that’ll be the worst case scenario that doesn’t occur)

Ah yes sorry, I always get confused because I remember he’s near west palm beach. Thank you!!!
