Central Florida's flat terrain, thousands of lakes, and intense summer thunderstorm season make inland flooding common. Tropical systems crossing the peninsula, like Ian and Milton, can dump feet of rain in days — overwhelming retention ponds and flooding neighborhoods from Orlando to Daytona to Lakeland.
Orange County flooding from Hurricane Ian in 2022 inundated Orlando neighborhoods well inland from the coast, and Seminole County's Lake Monroe and St. Johns River basin saw record cresting. Osceola County flooding around Kissimmee and Polk County flooding around Lakeland are driven by saturated retention ponds during the rainy season, while Volusia County deals with both Daytona Beach Atlantic surge and inland river flooding around DeLand. Floodi's real-time Central Florida flood map crowdsources alerts so residents know which roads are flooded the moment it happens.
