Florida experienced the "flood of the millennium": up to 60 cm of rain fell in a day In Florida heavy rains occurred on November 2, causing widespread flooding. In the Palm Bay and Melbourne area, about 60 cm of rain fell in less than 24 hours - streets were flooded, people were trapped in their homes. WFLA Chief Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli called the event a once-in-1,000-year event and linked the anomaly to a Super El Niño. The rescue forces carried out more than 60 operations. The governor declared a state of emergency in seven counties, and school classes were canceled in several areas. The new flood threat remains.
