16.4 FEET. More than 5 feet above flood stage.

That's how high the Peace River at Arcadia had risen by Thursday evening, reaching major flood stage following days of extraordinary rainfall across Florida.

For perspective, flood stage begins at 11 feet. And according to the National Weather Service, the river is expected to remain at major flood stage for several days, even as water levels gradually begin to decline.

For communities along the Peace River, particularly Arcadia and River Acres, these aren't just numbers. They represent flooded roads, homes surrounded by water, disrupted lives, and families waiting for conditions to improve.

And while the river has reached its reported peak near Arcadia, downstream communities should continue monitoring conditions as floodwaters move toward Charlotte Harbor.

This is an important reminder that flooding doesn't necessarily end when the rain stops. Rivers can continue rising for days as runoff makes its way downstream.

Our thoughts are with the families and communities affected by this week's flooding. Please continue following local emergency guidance and avoid flooded roads.

**PEACE RIVER FLOOD WARNING — MAJOR FLOODING FORECAST**

The rain may have stopped, but the water is still making its way downstream.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Warning for the Peace River at Arcadia, where river levels are expected to continue rising and reach major flood stage.

As runoff from recent heavy rainfall moves through the watershed, communities downstream should remain alert to changing conditions.

Residents in and around Nocatee, Fort Ogden, Cleveland, Harbour Heights, Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda are encouraged to monitor river levels, especially those living near waterways and low-lying areas.

Here's why this matters: River flooding doesn't always happen during the storm. Water from miles upstream can take days to reach downstream communities, even after the skies have cleared.

While the official warning is for the Peace River at Arcadia, it does not mean every downstream community will experience flooding.

Stay informed, follow local emergency management guidance, and never attempt to drive through flooded roads.

2.8 TRILLION gallons of rain. Across Florida. In just 48 hours.

That's not a typo. And the numbers behind it are almost impossible to comprehend.

According to rainfall estimates shared by Max Velocity, Florida received approximately 2.8 trillion gallons of rain during the 48-hour period ending Monday night.

To put that into perspective:

- That's enough water to fill approximately 4.3 MILLION Olympic-sized swimming pools.
- The equivalent of 2.8 inches of rain spread evenly across the entire state.
- Nearly 10,900 square miles received more than 5 inches of rainfall.
- Parts of the Palm Bay area saw radar estimates approaching an astonishing 26 inches.

And while those numbers are staggering, the real story is what's happening on the ground. Families dealing with flooded homes, destroyed belongings, damaged vehicles and the overwhelming task of recovering from it all.

This wasn't just an isolated downpour. The rainfall stretched across much of Florida, with some communities experiencing extraordinary concentrations of water in a matter of hours.

Our thoughts remain with everyone affected as recovery efforts continue.

2.8 trillion gallons. It's a number that's hard to imagine, but for thousands of Floridians, the impact is all too real.

Six months of rain. Just 36 hours. Imagine what that does to an entire community.

That's the staggering reality of what unfolded along Florida's Space Coast.

According to NOAA rainfall data, portions of the region received between 25% and 50% of their average annual rainfall in just a day and a half, with some areas receiving even more.

Think about that. Rainfall that would normally accumulate over months fell in a matter of hours.

And we're seeing the consequences. Flooded homes, submerged vehicles, impassable roads and families facing significant losses.

No hurricane. No named storm. Just an extraordinary rainfall event that overwhelmed communities.

It's another reminder that Florida's flood risk extends far beyond hurricane season, and that extreme rainfall alone can cause devastating damage.

Our thoughts remain with everyone affected as cleanup and recovery efforts continue.

The weather doesn't have to make landfall to change lives.

Our hearts go out to the families and communities across Florida's East Coast dealing with the devastating flooding.

The images and videos are heartbreaking. Cars floating down streets, water entering homes, families being rescued, and entire neighborhoods overwhelmed by rising water.

From Brevard County south into Indian River County and the Treasure Coast, communities are facing dangerous flooding conditions, with some areas receiving extraordinary amounts of rainfall.

For those whose homes and belongings have been damaged, the difficult road to recovery is just beginning.

And none of this required a hurricane.

It's a painful reminder of how quickly extreme rainfall can turn into a disaster, even without a named storm.

To our fellow Floridians affected by this flooding, we're thinking of you, your families, and the first responders working tirelessly to keep everyone safe.

Please continue following local emergency guidance, avoid flooded roadways, and look out for your neighbors.

We're all Floridians. When one community is hurting, we stand together.

24 inches of rain in 12 hours. Homes flooded. Roads underwater. And not a hurricane in sight.

Our friend and meteorologist Matt Devitt shared staggering rainfall totals from Southern Brevard County today, where an estimated 20 to 24 inches of rain fell in just 12 hours, particularly around Grant-Valkaria.

Major flooding was reported from Palm Bay to Melbourne, with water entering homes, vehicles stranded and roads closed.

So what happened?

A nearly stationary weather boundary, unusually high tropical moisture and storms repeatedly passing over the same areas created an extraordinary rainfall event.

And here's the reality Florida homeowners need to understand: flooding doesn't need a hurricane, a named storm or even a coastal location.

Sometimes, all it takes is an extraordinary amount of rain in a very short period.

That's exactly why we developed Flood Smart™.

Our removable flood barrier system is custom-fitted to help protect vulnerable openings like garages, entryways and doors from rising floodwaters. It's designed to be installed when needed and removed when the threat passes.

Because by the time water is approaching your front door, it's too late to start thinking about flood protection.

If your home is vulnerable to flooding, don't wait for the next record-breaking rainfall event to find out.

HISTORIC FLORIDA RAINFALL: An unbelievable 20 - 24" of rain fell in just 12 hours across Southern Brevard County today, especially in Grant-Valkaria. Major flooding was reported from Palm Bay to Melbourne with water going into homes, cars stalled and roads closed.

Why did this happen? A nearly stationary boundary helped focus the activity, a disturbance provided additional lift, unusually high tropical moisture brought the juice while storms were "training" and raining over the exact same spots.
