Storm surge caused water levels in Naples, Florida, to reach their second-highest level on record — more than 5.2 feet over normal high tides.
The city saw its highest levels during Hurricane Ian in 2022. During Hurricane Helene just a few weeks ago, it saw 5.12 feet of water.
Meanwhile, St. Petersburg, Florida, had a 1-in-1000 year rainfall event, with 18.31 inches of rain falling on Wednesday. It was the city’s rainiest day on record — and it actually nearly tripled its previous rainiest day, which was September 1, 2001.
