A steady, seven-hour storm soaked parts of Palm Beach County late Tuesday, with reports of significant flooding in Jupiter, police said.
The rainfall started around 3:30 p.m. and did not let up until after 10:30 p.m., causing scattered power failures lasting more than 45 minutes in some places.
The main roadways within Jupiter were unsafe to travel due to the amount of standing water, Sgt. Scott Pascarella said.
The water was more than three inches deep in some homes, six inches deep on some roads and more than eight inches of rain fell offshore, forecasters said.
