If you're voting today, check your polling place before you head out. Flooding from heavy rain has forced election officials to relocate polling places in Palm Beach and Indian River counties, and affected voters are encouraged to go straight to their new site.
- Polls: open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today
- Notice: affected voters get an email or text if on file
- Signs: posted at the original Palm Beach County sites
Riviera Beach declared a state of emergency as water swamped its Lone Pine community, and St. Lucie, Indian River and Martin counties did too. "A disaster," said Luz Ortiz, who has lived there 21 years. First responders are urging people to stay off flooded roads.
Closer to home, floodwater flowed into parked cars outside Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise on Monday night, WPLG Local 10 reported.
