Residents living along Georgia and Alabama Avenue in Leesburg are upset with the ongoing flooding issues in their neighborhood and said Hurricane Milton only made the problem worse.
Saturday, residents tell Channel 9 they were finally able to leave their homes and clean up debris after being trapped by rising water because of Hurricane Milton.
“It was scary. You looked out the window, it was water in my front yard, back yard, and on the side roads,” said Twyine Littlejohn, Leesburg resident.
Even though the water has receded along the roadways, days later, they’re still dealing with it in the backyard yards, damaging property and causing hundreds of dollars in repairs.
