The recent heavy rainfall in Milton has led to major flooding on several rivers, with water levels reaching historic highs in some areas. Nearly a dozen river gauges in the state are currently in major flood stage, causing concern for residents and authorities.
One of the most notable rivers affected is the Hillsborough River in Zephyrhills, which has surged to 15.46 feet, surpassing the previous record set in 1960. The river is expected to continue rising and could peak at 16.3 feet by early Friday morning, leading to flooding on numerous streets in Crystal Springs.
