PORT ORANGE, Fla – Overnight storms Sunday night dumped several inches of rain in Volusia County, leaving residents and businesses in Port Orange flooded.

In the Sleepy Hollow neighborhood, just four inches of rain caused significant water buildup around homes.

“It’s disheartening to hear there’s going to be more rain this week after a one-hour rainstorm did all of that damage. What happened was the drains weren’t draining,” said resident Tina Stevenson.

Tina and Kevin Stevenson’s home sits elevated compared to their road, yet it was under several inches of water inside Sunday night.

The homeowners had French drains installed after hurricanes in 2022 and 2024 flooded the area, hoping to prevent future damage.

“When it gets flooded back there, it’s supposed to just go through the pipes and drains and go to the main drains in the cul-de-sac. It couldn’t do that because that was backed up,” Stevenson said.

Flooding was not limited to Sleepy Hollow. Lauren Benning, who lives on Brittany Avenue off Spruce Creek Road, said water nearly covered her car parked in the street.

“I don’t remember our street being so flooded from just a regular rainstorm. Something is just not right,” Benning said.

Benning said it’s becoming a more regular occurrence even during lesser storms.

Homeowners are now questioning whether the city’s promised updates to the stormwater system are effective.

“It begs the question: what are they doing? What kind of work are they doing? Are they coming out and actually checking their drains to see if they’re clogged?” asked Kevin Stevenson.

News 6 reached out to the city for comment but was told no one was available to speak on the matter.
