Record rainfall causes life-threatening flooding in Florida The cities of Melbourne and Palm Bay go under water. According to the weather stations, the wettest day on record was recorded in Melbourne - more rain fell than on the day of the devastating Hurricane Irma. For example, 330 mm of precipitation fell at the local airport. Because of the floods, it was impossible to move on the roads, houses and cars were flooded and the coastal canals overflowed. All this forced the local schools to close, and the buses of those institutions that nevertheless continued to operate dropped children directly into the water.
