Mount Dora home teeters on collapse after runoff from ‘thousand-year storm’ devastates property

A Lake County family is living in a camper after what officials call a “thousand-year storm” carved a massive canyon through their yard and left their home teetering on the edge of collapse, highlighting ongoing stormwater management issues in the area. Mount Dora and Eustis received 15 to 19 inches of rain in just hours on Oct. 26, putting a strain on roads and stormwater systems.
