Fox 4's Bella Line and Fox 4 Photojournalist Andy Cunningham drove to Estey Avenue in Naples, where people living there had water coming up to their doorsteps. Neighbors told us this happens after a heavy rainfall, but Debby had them coming out of their homes to see the surge for themselves.

At Loudermilk Park, people were stopped by knee-high water at the intersection of Banyan Boulevard and Gulfshore Boulevard North. This is an area where Fox 4 crews have seen substantial flooding after heavy rainfall. However, it didn't stop all commuters from driving through.
