CONTINUE TO TRACK ALL OF THIS FOR YOU. NOW LET’S HEAD BACK TO THE DESK WITH JUSTIN AND
BRIDGETT.
>> JUSTIN: JULIE, THANK YOU.
YEAH, A LOT ABOUT AN HOUR AGO
OR SO. I GUESS AT THIS POINT
WE’VE GOT THAT SINCE YOUR
PHONE SAYING FLASH FLOODING IS
A HUGE CONCERN ADVISORY THAT
WAS SENT AND I WILL SOME FOLKS
UP. BUT NEVERTHELESS, IT IS A
IT IS A PROBLEM. IT’S BEEN A
PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
AS WE WAKE UP AND WE TRY TO
GATHER THE NEW INFORMATION.
WHAT WE MISSED, REALLY, WHAT
WHAT I’VE BEEN HEARING FROM
FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN UP IS THAT
THERE’S SOME REALLY BAD
FLOODING HAPPENING AND
CONTINUES TO COME DOWN IN
OSCEOLA COUNTY. YES, AND WE
KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, IT
DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE.
DEPENDS ON YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD,
THE GRAFFITI WHERE YOU ARE IN.
SO SOME NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE
BEEN PREPARED. SOME
NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN VERY
CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THE HISTORY OF WHERE THEY ARE
IN.
>> JUSTIN: SOME OF THE
PROBLEMS THAT POP UP AND
>> BRIDGETT: NEWS SIX’S LOUIS
BOLDEN IS IN KISSIMMEE WHERE
THE FLOODING IS SEVERE IN SOME
SPOTS. LEWIS.
>> YEAH, IT IS SEVERE IN SOME
SPOTS. BUT AGAIN, WE JUST GOT
HERE. WE’RE ON ORANGE BLOSSOM
TRAIL BETWEEN DOWN AGAIN
STREETS AND ONE 92. AND WE
DROVE AS FAR AS WE BEFORE WE
HAD TO STOP. YOU CAN THE WATER
RIGHT BEHIND ME HERE WE
TRAVELING DOWN, COREY, WE CAN
PAN OVER HERE. WE HAD A PART
IN THIS PARKING LOT RIGHT OVER
HERE. I DON’T. IF YOU CAN SEE
THE FLASHERS ON OUR CAR OVER
THERE, BUT THAT’S AS FAR AS WE
COULD DRIVE. AND THERE ARE
SOME PEOPLE IN THE THAT WE’RE
FLAGGING US DOWN, TELLING US
THAT WE PROBABLY SHOULDN’T
DRIVE ANY FARTHER DOWN. SO WE
PARKED THERE AND THEN WE
STARTED TO WALK. I CAN TELL
YOU THAT IT’S ACTUALLY WORSE
THAN IT LOOKS BECAUSE WE
THOUGHT THAT WE COULD WALK
FARTHER THAN WE COULD BU
YOU TAKE A FEW MORE FEET IN THIS DIRECTION, IT STARTED TO GET DEEPER. THEN I WAS
COMFORTABLE WALKING IN AND YOU
SEE RIGHT OVER TO THE LEFT
THERE WHERE IT SAYS NEW AND
USED TIRES. THAT AREA IS A
LITTLE BIT. THAT AREAS A
LITTLE BIT MORE ELEVATED. BUT
WHEN WHEN YOU STEPPED DOWN
FROM THERE, THE WATER STARTS
TO GET A LITTLE BIT DEEPER. IF
YOU LOOK STRAIGHT DOWN, WE’RE
IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF
THAT IS A CAR IN THE ROAD IN
IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF
THAT IS A CAR IN THE ROAD IN THE IN THE 2 LANES ON THE
LEFT-HAND SIDE. BUT WE CAN’T SEE IT FROM HERE. AND EVEN
WITH THE LIGHT ON THE CAMERA,
WE CAN’T TELL IF THAT’S A
SUBMERGED CAR. WE’RE PRETTY
SURE IF YOU LOOK ACROSS THE
STREET TO THE RIGHT, THEY’RE
IN THAT PARKING LOT. IT LOOKS
LIKE THEIR CARS IN THAT
PARKING LOT. AND THERE’S
ACTUALLY A CAR DRIVING DOWN
THIS DIRECTION THAT I’M TRYING
TO WAVE THEM TO GO AND THE
OTHER. YEAH. AND THEY TURNED
SO WE’VE HAD A FEW CARS
DRIVING DOWN THIS DIRECTION
AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE ON
THE CORNER THERE THAT HAVE
BEEN FLAGGING PEOPLE DOWN
ADVISING THEM TO TURN AROUND.
WE’RE NOT SURE WHERE THOSE
PEOPLE ARE COMING I THOUGHT
EARLIER THEY MIGHT THEY MIGHT
HAVE BEEN IN THOSE CARS THAT
LOOK LIKE THEY’RE SUBMERGED IN
THE PARKING LOT DOWN THE
STREET. BUT I’M NOT SURE. SO
THEY’VE JUST BEEN WALKING AND
NOW JUST HANGING OUT IN THAT
AREA. WE TRIED TO ASK AND
WHERE THEY WERE GOING. THEY
SAID THEY WERE GOING TO A
FRIEND’S HOUSE. WE’RE NOT SURE
AND THIS TIME OF MOURNING. BUT
I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE
STREETS ARE AND AGAIN, THIS IS
ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL BETWEEN
DONE AGAIN AND ONE. 92. AND
WE’VE GOT SOME MORE PEOPLE ON
THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WALKING
OVER HERE. WE’RE NOT SURE
WHERE THEY’RE COMING FROM BUT
AGAIN, IT DOES LOOK THERE ARE
SOME CARS THAT ARE SUBMERGED
IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE
RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET AND
IT APPEARS TO BE A CAR. IN THE
STREET ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE.
LIKE I SAID, EVEN WITH THE
LIGHT FROM THE CAMERA, IT’S
HARD TO TELL. SO WE’LL BE ABLE
TO SEE A LOT MORE AS A IT
GETS. ARE YOU GUYS OK? HANG ON
TO SEE A LOT MORE AS A IT
GETS. ARE YOU GUYS OK? HANG ON
JUST THAT. YOU SAY THERE ARE PEOPLE STUCK BACK THERE. SO IF ANYONE AT THE STATION CAN I’M
SURE. YOU SAID THEIR HEALTH IS
FILLING UP. CAN YOU TELL US
EXACTLY WHERE SO WE CAN TRY TO
GET SOME HELP POINTS IN A
EXACTLY WHERE SO WE CAN TRY TO
GET SOME HELP POINTS IN A
>> I GOT THE ALL WITH THAT AND ON THE PORCH WITH A LIGHT AND WE’RE NOT WHERE YOU IN A CAR.
WE KNOW ABOUT HOW THE HOUSE IS
FLOODING. OKAY. OKAY. WE’RE
GOING TO.
>> IF YOU GUYS GOT THAT
ADDRESS BACK AT THE I’M SURE
THEY HAVE PROBABLY CALLED BUT
OK, THE PRODUCERS ARE TELLING
ME THAT WE HAVE CALLED BECAUSE
WE JUST HEARD FROM PEOPLE THAT
THERE IS WATER FILLING UP INTO
A HOUSE THAT THEIR CAR IS
SUBMERGED. POINTE SIENNA
CIRCLE, I BELIEVE, THE STREET
THAT THEY JUST GAVE. BUT NOW
WE SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE OUT AND
WALKING AT LEAST THOSE 2
PEOPLE SAY THAT THEIR CAR WAS
SUBMERGED AND THERE’S WATER
FILLING UP INTO A HOUSE NOT
FAR FROM HERE. IT’S EASY TO
SEE BECAUSE THESE ROADS ARE
PRETTY BAD. AS AS I WAS
SAYING, WE PARKED IN THE
PARKING LOT RIGHT BACK HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE FLASHERS ON
OUR CAR AND THEN WE DROVE AS
FAR AS WE THEN WE PARKED AND
STARTED TO WALK. AND I CAN
TELL YOU THAT IT IS. IT IS
WORSE. THEN IT BECAUSE WHEN WE
WERE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
TRYING TO WALK OVER TO THAT’S
THE AREA WHERE IT SAYS NEW AND
USED TIRES. THAT’S A LITTLE
BIT MORE ELEVATED. SO WE
THOUGHT WE COULD STAND OVER
THERE. BUT WALKING THROUGH
THAT WATER GOT A LITTLE DEEPER
THAN I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH
DOWN THE WAY. WE DID SEE AN
EMERGENCY VEHICLE WITH RED AND
WHITE FLASHING LIGHTS JUST A
WHILE AGO. WE CAN’T SEE THEM
ANYMORE. PERHAPS THEY TRY TO
GO TO THAT AREA WHERE THE
PEOPLE WERE JUST TELLING ME
THAT WATER IS GETTING INTO A
HOME ON POINTE SIENNA CIRCLE.
AND AGAIN, WHEN THE SUN STARTS
TO COME UP IN A COUPLE OF
HOURS OR SO, WE’LL BE ABLE TO
SEE A LOT MORE. BUT IT DOES
LOOK LIKE THERE IS THE CAR
SUBMERGED ON THE LEFT-HAND
SIDE OF THE STREET FROM WHERE
WE’RE STRICT STANDING. ALSO
WHEN WE WERE ON THE WAY HERE
WE WERE ON THE TURNPIKE AND WE
SAW THAT A CAR. IT LOOKED LIKE
THE CAR HAD HYDROPLANED AND
WAS OVER IN A DITCH WITH THE
FLASHERS ON. AND IT LOOKED
LIKE SOMEONE HAD OPENED THE
DOOR AND PERHAPS GOTTEN OUT
AND WALKED AND THEY JUST HAD
TO ABANDON THE CAR. SO IT’S
SERIOUS. AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE
TO BE ON THE ROADS, DEFINITELY
DO. DON’T GO OUT ON THE ROADS.
AND THIS IS AS FAR AS WE’RE
COMFORTABLE GOING, ESPECIALLY
WITH IT BEING SO DARK. SO
WE’RE GOING TO STAY HERE. AND
AS THE SUN STARTS TO COME UP
AND WE START TO GET A LITTLE
BIT MORE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE A
LITTLE BIT MORE AND PERHAPS WE
CAN SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT
BETTER WHAT’S GOING ON. BUT
AGAIN, ON ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL
BETWEEN DONE AGAIN AND ONE. 92
YOU WANT TO AVOID THIS AREA.
>> WE’VE ONLY SEEN A COUPLE OF
CARS COMING THIS BUT THEIR
PEOPLE, A COUPLE OF BLOCKS
DOWN THAT ARE FLAGGING PEOPLE
DOWN, WAVING THEM DOWN AND
TELLING THEM TO TURN AROUND.
AND THANK GOODNESS EVERYONE
HAS BEEN TURNING AROUND. WE
HAVEN’T SEEN DRY TRYING TO
DRIVE THROUGH THIS WATER. BUT
AGAIN, THE PEOPLE THAT WE JUST
SAW WALKING HERE SAID THEIR
WAS STUCK A FEW BLOCKS DOWN
THE ROAD. THERE. AND WE CAN
SEE A COUPLE OF CARS IN THE
PARKING LOTS THERE OR IF WE
CAN JUST STEP OUT. AND SEE IF.
PARKING LOTS THERE OR IF WE
CAN JUST STEP OUT. AND SEE IF. YEAH, THAT DEFINITELY LOOKS
LIKE THE TOP OF A CAR ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. I CAN’T SEE
THAT STREET SIGN FROM HERE. IT
LOOKS LIKE THERE’S A SMALL
STREET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THAT WHITE BUILDING. AND DOES
APPEAR TO BE ONE CAR, MAYBE 2
CARS, ACTUALLY 2 CARS IN THE
PARKING LOT. THERE. AND THEN
ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE LATE
TOO, MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN THAT
FOR YOU. YEAH, I’M NOT EVEN
SURE YOU CAN SEE THE FLASHING
LIGHT THERE. I’M NOT SURE WHAT
THAT IS THAT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE
A WAREHOUSE MAY BE SOME KIND
OF BUSINESS, WHERE THAT
FLASHING LIGHT, IS IT BACK
BELOW THE LIGHT? IT LOOKS LIKE
THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE WALKING
FROM THAT DIRECTION. I’M NOT
SURE THAT’S POINT SIENNA
CIRCLE. THAT’S WHERE THAT THE
LADY THAT WAS WALKING FROM A
MINUTE TO GO TOLD US POINT
SIENNA CIRCLE THAT THERE’S
WATER GOING INTO A HOME AND
NOW WE’RE SEEING 1, 2, 3, 4
LOOKS LIKE FOR PEOPLE. THAT
ARE COMING FROM DOWN THAT
STREET. THE WATER GETS DOWN
THERE. SO WE’RE NOT GOING TO
WALK DOWN THERE. IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY’RE TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM
DOWN THE AIR SO BUT WE ARE
SEEING MORE PEOPLE WALKING.
AND SO PERHAPS THEY ARE COMING
FROM ONE OF THE HOUSES THAT
THAT LADY JUST TOLD THAT WATER
IS GETTING INTO THE HOUSE YOU
WOULD CERTAINLY WONDER WHY
SOME ABOUT ONE IS IF YOU’RE
NOT AN ESSENTIAL WORKER AND
THESE CONDITIONS. SO PERHAPS
THEY ARE, THOUGH THE HOUSE
THAT IRAN IS TAKING ON WATER.
BUT 1, 2, 3, YEAH. LOOKS LIKE
FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE WALKING
TOWARD US NOW. MAYBE EVEN 5
PEOPLE. AND WHEN THEY GET A
LITTLE BIT WE WILL. WE SEE
WHAT THE SITUATION IS AND SEE
WHERE THEY’RE COMING FROM. BUT
WE DID GET WORD FROM OUR WE
HAVE CALLED I’M SURE THOSE
PEOPLE ARE IN DISTRESS. THEY
HAVE CALLED 9-1-1 AND WE’RE
TRYING TO GET. AND WE’RE
TRYING WHAT’S THAT PRODUCER.
GO AHEAD AND TELL ME. OKAY,
OKAY. WE’RE TRYING TO GET EZZY
CASTRO TO THAT AREA RIGHT NOW.
BUT I THINK LOOKS LIKE THERE
MIGHT BE A CHILD. SOMEONE IS
CARRYING A CHILD ON THEIR
SHOULDERS. BUT YET THIS DOES
NOT LOOK LIKE A GOOD THIS
LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE TRYING TO
AND TRYING TO GET TO DRY LAND.
DEFINITELY. AND IT’S A GROUP
OF PEOPLE. AND AS THEY GET
CLOSER, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE
IS CARRYING A SMALL CHILD ON
THEIR SHOULDERS AND LOOKS LIKE
THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME BAGS. SO
THESE PEOPLE APPEAR TO BE IN
DISTRESS AGAIN. YOU WOULDN’T
JUST BE OUT HERE UNLESS YOU’RE
AN ESSENTIAL WORKER OR YOU’RE
TRYING TO ESCAPE A BAD
SITUATION. BUT AS THEY GET
CLOSER TO US. WE’LL TRY TO
TALK TO THEM GET MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE
THEY’RE COMING FROM AND AND
WHAT THEY’VE SEEN. BUT YOU CAN
SEE HOW DEEP THE WATER IS AND
THEY’RE HAVING TO STAY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE
THE CLOSER YOU GO TO THE
SIDES, THE DEEPER IT GETS
THEY’RE ACTUALLY WALKING IN
THE MEDIAN RIGHT NOW AND I’M
GOING TO APPROACH THEM TO SEE
AND EVERYTHING IS OK. SO YOU
GUYS JUST HANG WITH ME FOR
JUST A MINUTE. HELLO CHANNELED
6 NEWS. ARE YOU GUYS OK? OKAY.
WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM?
WERE YOU COMING FROM FROM
MINUTE? ONE? YOU’RE FROM
VENEZUELA. OKAY. WHERE HAVE
YOU GUYS USE HOST.
>> WATER EVERYWHERE. WATER IS
IN YOUR HOUSE. 3 IS YOUR
HEALTH. IT’S ALL REMAIN IN USE
IS A LITTLE BUSINESS. AND
THAT’S COOL. THAT’S OK, BUT
I’M UNDERSTANDING, YOU CAN YOU
TELL ME? THE NAME OF THE
STREET THAT YOUR HOUSE IS ON?
>> LIVE IN THAT WITH THIS
TEAM. KNOW.
>> OVER THE YEARS, THE WATER

OKAY. THAT THE WATER ON IT? WHAT IS IT? IS IT A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME? IS IT A
DUPLEX? CAN YOU TELL ME TO THE
FAMILY, IT’S A 2 WATER CAME

DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS AN
EMERGENCY VEHICLE COMING
BEHIND US, BUT THIS IS A TRUCK

WATER RIGHT NOW.
THAT IS MAKING IT THROUGH THE
WATER RIGHT NOW.
>> AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE, YEAH, WE JUST SAW
GROUP OF THEIR HOME AND TALK
TO A MAN WITH A WITH A CHILD
ON HIS SHOULDERS AND THEY SAID
THAT WATER WAS COMING INTO
THEIR HOUSE. WE’RE TRYING TO
GET EZZY CASTRO TO THAT AREA.
A PRODUCER WAS TELLING THEM
NEED TO GO. IT’S GOING TO BE
HARD TO GET TO THAT AREA SO IT
MIGHT TAKE HER SOME TIME. WE
SAW THAT THESE PEOPLE WERE
WALKING BACK FROM THAT AREA.
ONE LADY TOLD US EARLIER THAT
IT WAS POINT SIENNA CIRCLE.
>> WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO GET A
REPORTER TO THAT AREA, IT
MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME BECAUSE
YOU CAN SEE THOSE PEOPLE ARE
LEAVING THAT AREA BECAUSE IT’S
SO BAD. BUT WE’RE GOING SAY
OUT HERE AND MONITOR THE
SITUATION AND AGAIN, AS THE
SUN COMES UP, WILL BE ABLE TO
SEE A LITTLE BIT BETTER UNTIL
YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE RIGHT
NOW. WE’RE GOING TO SEND IT
BACK TO YOU GUYS IN THE
STUDIO.
