Dark storm clouds push in over Cape Coral Sunday.

Fox 4 Meteorologist Andrew Shipley says the reason we are seeing so much standing water on the roads is because of how wet this rainy season has already been.

Juan Rosario told FOX 4 how flooding was preventing him and his family from returning home from Sunday errands in NW Cape Coral.
