VIDEO: Flooding created huge problems for people in Central Florida on Wednesday. It was a rainy, soggy mess in many areas. In East Orange County, neighbors along El Prado Avenue had quite a bit of flooding. "I parked my car there, and trying to find a way walking along the grass to get to my house down the street," one person told WESH 2 News. From cars stranded, to fish flopping around, and school buses turning around, the rain was no joke -- close to five inches fell. Firefighters had to rescue nine people from six cars. At the intersection of East Colonial Drive and Maguire Road in Orlando, cars blocked the roadway and firefighters helped drivers get out. Officials say when people see flooding, they should remember to, "turn around, don't drown."
