Flooding in Brevard County Florida, City of Cocoa

 

Thursday morning 8/21/08

 

Holding stationary over the northeastern part of Florida for hours, Fay dumped rains of 50 to 75 centimeters (20 to 30 inches) in some parts of the state, and caused widespread flooding.

 

"This storm is turning into a serious catastrophic flooding event, particularly in southern Brevard County," Crist said on Wednesday as he sought the emergency declaration giving Florida access to US federal disaster assistance funds.
