EDGEWATER, Fla. – Juanita Lagreca watched as water started seeping into her home in Florida Shores for the third time in three years on Friday.

“My garage flooded. My laundry room is flooded,” Lagreca told News 6. “There’s water all around the exterior walls of my house. My husband is in there with the shop vac, trying to suck it up.”

Lagreca and her husband have lived in this neighborhood for 20 years. She said there were never any problems until 2022, when Hurricane Ian hit.

“We ended up with 22 inches of water in our house,” said Lagreca. “We lost everything we owned because the sewer is also backed up. So we had to throw out everything and start all over. And I thought that would be the only time. And now, you know, last year. And now it’s happening again.”

News 6 has closely followed the flooding that has become all too familiar in Edgewater, as families have demanded action and the city looks for solutions.

Friday, the city said the high tide significantly reduced the drainage capacity of the stormwater system. That, combined with the wind and the amount of rain this area has received this week, has only made matters worse.

City crews are working to keep drains clear, while Edgewater Police have been blocking off roads throughout the area that are either impassable or where the wake would push water closer to homes.

Families our News 6 crew spoke to in the neighborhood said it’s the worst waiting game, and it’s one they’ve seen before: rebuild, rain, repeat.

Eileen Green said she was watching the rain on her cameras and rushed home to move cars and place sandbags near doors in time. She said the culverts were already overflowing on her street when she left for work earlier that morning.

“It’s on its way in just a few hours,” said Green. “As soon as I see it start hitting a couple more feet up, then we’ll start to sandbag in this area.”

Green said the continuous rain has families concerned that their homes could flood next.

“There’ll be many more of us under,” said Green. “They just sit a little bit lower. That’s why I was watching the camera this morning, because I was like, ‘Oh, here it comes.’”

The city of Edgewater sent a statement to News 6 detailing efforts to deal with the flooding.

It says several roads are closed due to standing water.

It also is asking anyone dealing with water intrusion at their home to fill out this form on its website and list any damage because of it.

You can read the full statement below:

“This morning, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for our area. A stalled weather pattern dropped approximately 7 inches of rain on a portion of the City of Edgewater, causing compounded flooding. The compounded flooding was a combination of intense rainfall in a short period of time, on already saturated ground, during King Tide – an especially high tide that occurs during a full moon. The high tide significantly reduces drainage capacity and efficiency of our stormwater system, resulting in potential flooding. City employees across all departments: Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Police, Fire, and City Administration have been working to minimize the effects of compounded flooding. The City’s robust response utilized large pumps and vacuum trucks to clear inlets, canals, culverts, and swales.

“Multiple roadways were flooded, mainly concentrated within Florida Shores and surrounding low-lying areas, during the rain event. City staff is currently working to determine how many homes received water intrusion, but a preliminary estimate is approximately thirty homes. The City of Edgewater Public Works Department is actively pumping the 18 Street canal to increase water capacity and flow to clear excess stormwater faster from the area. Additional updates will be provided at a later date.

“Key Impacts: Road Closures: Several roadways have been closed due to standing water. Please use caution in areas that roadways may be covered and those that are blocked with barricades. Do not drive through standing water.

“Flooded Properties: Numerous homes have reported water intrusion. For homes that have received water intrusion, use the link: or email Code Enforcement Supervisor Miron San Miguel at msanmiguel@cityofedgewater.org with your information and optional photos.

“Stormwater System: Crews are proactively working to pump the 18 Street canal to increase water capacity and flow. Edgewater residents are reminded that flooding may persist or worsen with additional rainfall or continued high tides over the coming days. Continue to monitor the city’s social media channels, Volusia County Emergency Management, and the National Weather Service for updates.”
