Tropical Storm Ian brought record-breaking amounts of rainfall across Central Florida, leading to flooding and closures of some of the area’s busiest roads.

State Road 46, which runs through Seminole, Volusia and Brevard counties, is one of those roads. As of Wednesday morning, 10.8 feet of water covered part of the road near the St. Johns River and Lake Harney, according to the National Weather Service.

Water levels are especially high near Jungle and Prevatt roads in Geneva, so much so that “it may become impassable.” The area remains closed and under a flood warning until further notice.

“Standing water on secondary roads near the river deepens to more than three feet in some areas,” a Wednesday morning update from NWS stated. “Flooding becomes more significant to structures and marinas from above Lake Harney to the Lake Jesup area.”
