Over a Foot of Rain Has Already Fallen on Disney World

[Disney4me]

Hurricane Ian has made its way into Florida and caused some extreme flooding and damage.

The storm shut down a ton of places — everything from schools to Disney World — and continues to have major impacts. There were both Tornado Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings issued for Central Florida. Now, Ian has been downgraded to a tropical storm, but it’s still not done dumping water on the Sunshine State. And now, we know the exact amount of rain that has come down on Disney World so far.

Hurricane Ian made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, and moved across Florida bringing down a ton of rain. The rain continues, but we do have some totals of how much has fallen by this point, thanks to WKMG.

Orlando itself has already had over 14 inches of rain…

This rain brought some pretty intense flooding, with the event being called a 500-year flood and the conditions being described as life-threatening. There were many water rescues happening in Central Florida.
