Edgewater Homes Flooded After Heavy Rains and High Tides

According to a report released on October 11th, 2025, the city of Edgewater experienced significant flooding on October 10th after being drenched with 7 inches of rain and hit by unusually high tides. The National Weather Service had issued a flash flood warning, and the heavy rainfall combined with already-saturated ground and a King Tide - an especially high tide during a full moon - led to the flooding.

The high tide reduced the drainage capacity and efficiency of Edgewater's stormwater system, causing water to inundate approximately 30 homes in the city. City employees across all departments worked together to minimize the effects, using large pumps and vacuum trucks to clear inlets, canals, culverts, and swales. However, multiple roadways remained flooded, mainly concentrated within the Florida Shores and surrounding low-lying areas.
