MOUNT DORA, Fla. (WFLA) – Some central Florida roads and yards were left washed out and heavily damaged after weekend storms dumped over a foot of rain in some spots.

The City of Mount Dora shared photos to social media showing how roads buckled and yards washed away Sunday night. The city is located northwest of Orlando.

“These photos show just a glimpse of what our teams are seeing in the field as they work to mark hazards, begin repairs, and restore safe travel routes,” city officials wrote.
