Tropical Storm Debby dumped heavy rain on Sarasota and Manatee Counties as both areas tried to deal with high-water rescues, flooding, and road closures.

    Anywhere near the creek is a FEMA flood zone for this reason. This was not a bad storm, but it just sat on top of Sarasota and dumped water, there was very little wind. Those new FEMA maps are very accurate. Many of the houses near the creek will have to be raised.

    Look dear people. This happens worldwide. One month ago all villages along the Danube river were flooded.

    I don't understand how this happened. If Ian with a 20ft storm surge didn't flood that area, how could this 125 mile offshore Tropical Storm with a 4ft storm surge flood Venice?

    Will you reporters please say the cross streets when you show these videos?
  • Crooked Creek in Sarasota went under. That is why folks are selling.
  • Nah, bad move I would not have cancelled my flood insurance because you never know. Sometimes these people does tell you a lot of ish.

    And it wasn't even record rain! The Sarasota area doubled in population in the last 20 years. New construction sites everywhere! Thousands of new homes and condos and businesses. Blame our Leaders, blame our Politicians! Changing farmland into residential! For the first time every, Bradenton Raceway and Dragstrip was flooded! Why? Because of new construction sites all around and Land Clearing for future sites! Start the Lawsuits!

    Pinecraft is mostly an Amish and Mennonite retirement community. They know how to take care of their own. 😊
