Milton aftermath: Water rescues underway in Volusia Co.
Firefighters are conducting water rescues Thursday morning along Big Tree Road in South Daytona with many homes cut off or flooded by high water from Hurricane Milton. FOX 35's Amanda McKenzie spoke to the people rescued with their pets. The same neighborhood flooded during Hurricane Ian. First responders said the scene is eerily similar.
"Thank you guys. Appreciate it," the woman told the first responders after the two were rescued.
"It seems pretty bad. It seems very similar to Ian. Hundreds of houses flooded, just in this neighborhood…Every house on the left side of this neighborhood is flooded," a first responded told FOX 35.
