The Brief

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - A Florida couple finally got floodwater out of their home after historic rain a week ago in Titusville.

They spent the last week couch-surfing with friends and neighbors.

The backstory:

An estimated 3.5 million gallons of floodwater inundated Greg and Carolina Sones’ Titusville property following torrential rain on October 26.

The couple says they’ve lived through hurricanes and other major storms and have never experienced flooding this severe. They believe new development, drainage issues and unmaintained ditches and culverts are to blame.

Greg Sones was home when the water began creeping into the house. He said within 30 minutes, nine inches of water inundated his home.
