GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - Tropical Storm Elsa brought enough rainfall to North Central Florida to put some neighborhoods underwater, and the Meadowbrook area in Gainesville is just one of many.
Jorge and Alyssa Arango have lived in the neighborhood for only seven months.
The rain from the storm seeped into their home and rose for about four hours.
Flooding in this neighborhood is nothing new, but the Arango’s are experiencing it first-hand for the first time.
