🚨 One Week After Florida's 1,000-Year Flood | Roads Gone, No FEMA Yet and the Rivers Still Rising

Описание: One week after a 1-in-1,000-year rain hit Florida's Space Coast, the flood is still not over. On November 1 and 2, 2026, storms stalled over southern Brevard County: Malabar picked up about 24 inches of rain in two days, Palm Bay more than 20 inches, and Melbourne recorded 11.51 inches on Monday alone, its wettest day since records began in 1937. More than 160 people were rescued, Port Malabar Boulevard collapsed, a sinkhole cut off Palm Bay Estates, and two people died in Palm Bay.

A week later, about 2,000 people on the Space Coast have reported flood damage, Port Malabar Boulevard is still collapsed, and there is still no federal disaster declaration. State inspectors checked about 125 gas stations in seven counties after water got into fuel tanks. Meanwhile the St. Johns River near Cocoa stood at 16.9 feet on Saturday morning, above flood stage with major flooding in the forecast, and the Peace River at Arcadia was still around 16 feet, more than five feet above flood stage.

In this video, we go through how the flood started, the damage count, the families who lost everything in Palm Bay and south Melbourne, why FEMA help hasn't arrived yet, the warning about predatory contractors, why the St. Johns River keeps rising a week after the rain, the Peace River and the cowboys rescuing cattle in Arcadia, and what comes next.

The St. Johns is one of the slowest rivers in America: it flows north and drops only about 30 feet over roughly 300 miles, so its flood peak arrives days after the rain and can last for weeks.
