MSNBC: Jacksonville Has a Record Flooding

‘The surge is turning out to be worse on the northeast side’

EXCERPT:

KARINS: "The title gauge in the St. John’s River in downtown Jacksonville just broke their record, the highest water level they’ve ever recorded in the city of Jacksonville, higher than Matthew last year and it broke their record from 1964 with Hurricane Dora. The flooding situation, although we’re waking up and hearing from a lot of the mayors and officials in charge of Fort Myers and Sarasota and Tampa, it may turn out that the worst flooding from this with home damage may be on the opposite side of the state from where the system made landfall all the way up in Jacksonville, Florida. I’m looking at the river gauges all through northeast Florida and it's all record flooding. They had a storm surge because of the onshore winds, and they had almost a foot of rain."
