🌧️ Storm Update from the Town of Windermere 🌧️
Central Florida experienced an unprecedented storm event, resulting in significant rainfall and localized flooding throughout the area.
Our Public Works team is out in full force responding to intersections and roadways identified by the Windermere Police Department as impacted by flooding or washouts. Crews are prioritizing public safety, placing cones at hazardous locations, and beginning repair work on affected intersections and dirt roads as conditions allow.
We kindly ask for everyone’s patience and caution as we work diligently to restore safe travel throughout the Town. Please avoid flooded or barricaded areas and report any new hazards to Town Administration, Public Works, or the Police Department.
Stay safe, and thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we recover from this severe weather event.
