🚨Powerful Florida Flood Moves North | River Rivals Tropical Storm Fay at Lake Harney

Описание: A week after Florida's thousand-year rain, the danger hasn't passed. It has moved. The water that drowned Palm Bay and Melbourne is now crawling north through the St. Johns River, and the river is still rising at every single gauge from Cocoa to Astor, closing in on levels only a few hurricanes have ever reached. Near Cocoa, it's about to rival Tropical Storm Fay, at Lake Harney water is already reaching the first floors of homes, and forecasters say parts of the river may not crest until next weekend. The footage shows the river spread across pastures and fish camps, docks under water and roads disappearing into the floodplain. In this video, we'll go through where the water is right now, which neighborhoods are next, why this river floods so slowly, and how long Central Florida will have to wait.

The St. Johns is Florida's longest river, and it's unusual: it flows north. It starts in the marshes west of Vero Beach and Melbourne, winds north past Cocoa, through a chain of lakes like Lake Poinsett, Lake Harney and Lake Monroe near Sanford, past DeLand and Astor, and eventually reaches the ocean at Jacksonville.

And it's one of the flattest major rivers in America. Over its whole length, it drops only about thirty feet. That means when the upper basin floods, the water doesn't rush away. It moves north slowly, lake by lake, for days or even weeks.

In this video, we go through: the river that flows north, where the water came from, cocoa: rivaling fay, lake harney: already in the homes, sanford, stone island and astor, the state steps in, why it takes so long, what's next.
