FORT MYERS, Fla. – Photos and videos captured in southwest Florida on Sunday show homes, businesses and roads being flooded as Tropical Storm Debby inches closer to land.
Tropical Storm Debby is currently churning in the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to intensify into a hurricane before making landfall in Florida’s Big Bend early Monday.
In the meantime, Floridians are already feeling the impact of Debby as many of them prepare amid the backdrop of a state of emergency.
Images from Fort Myers Beach on Sunday show roads disappearing underneath deep floodwater and quickly approaching businesses.
Also in Fort Myers Beach, the road in front of what appears to be apartments has been completely flooded.
Early Sunday morning, sheets of rain and powerful winds were lashing palm trees around a parking lot.
Drivers are also seen stranded and needing their vehicles to be towed.
