ST. CLOUD, Fla. — St. Cloud officials said the vandalization of an outfall pipe near neighborhoods flooded by Hurricane Ian could cause those floodwaters to rise more quickly.
That vandalized pipe is just north of East Lake Toho.
By Wednesday, the county says some areas will be underwater again. Orlando Utilities Commission has already shut off power in some areas to prepare for more flooding.
“We have city staff and volunteers going door to door to notify residents and give them any assistance they need in evacuating,” St. Cloud City Manager Veronica Miller said.
City officials are expected to provide an update about flooding conditions at 2 p.m. Stay tuned to Eyewitness News for updates.
