By Wednesday, the county says some areas will be underwater again. Orlando Utilities Commission has already shut off power in some areas to prepare for more flooding.
“We have city staff and volunteers going door to door to notify residents and give them any assistance they need in evacuating,” St. Cloud City Manager Veronica Miller said.
