FORT MYERS, Fla — Flooding from Hurricane Helene, combined with high-tide overnight, led to flooding across downtown Fort Myers early Friday morning.
Fox 4 Fort Myers Community Correspondent Miyoshi Price and Community Correspondent Austin Schargorodski tracked the flooding. Just before midnight on Thursday, they say the water flooded First St. and got into some businesses.
Watch their report here:
By late morning, much of the flooding in this part of downtown had receded.
But a short drive away, in the Dean Park Neighborhood, people were still dealing with water. Miyoshi and Austin found cars parked in the middle of the Cranford and Michigan Ave intersection with water above their tires. The water was also up to the first floor windows of some homes.
