What to do
Do not drive into flooded roads. The National Weather Service says to turn around, don't drown, because most flood deaths occur in vehicles.
Move to higher ground if water is rising near you. Never drive around barricades. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
Be extra careful near small creeks and streams, underpasses, streets and other low-lying or poorly draining areas. These are the places the warning names as at risk.
Stay tuned to National Weather Service updates until the warning ends at 4:00 PM EST, since more rain is possible.
Context
Palm Beach County has 10,791 FEMA flood-insurance claims on record, filed between 1978 and 2026. This count covers only homes and businesses with flood insurance, so it likely understates total flood damage in the county.
FEMA has made several disaster declarations for the county in recent years, all for hurricanes. They include Hurricane Milton in October 2024, Hurricane Nicole and Hurricane Ian in 2022, Hurricane Dorian in 2019 and Hurricane Irma in 2017.
Updates
