Seminole, Fla.(July 16, 2018 18:30 p.m.) This is a short news piece covering the flooding of Lake Monroe Wayside Park Boat Ramp in Seminole County, Florida.

The boat ramp had been flooded for several weeks at the time this piece was produced. It shows the current flood levels at the time, and remarkably how little the water dissipated since the flooding.

The flooding resulted from steady rains in the area. Afterward, officials barricaded-off the boat ramp to prevent use of the boat ramp in its hazardous flooded condition.

The water levels of Lake Monroe rose enough to cover the boat ramp’s fixed pier platforms. The three floating platforms at the end of each of the three piers, were lifted well above their normal height.

Aerial footage of the flooded boat ramp is shown in the report revealing the extent of the flooding of the boat ramp and surrounding areas.

Archival footage of the boat ramp is shown, demonstrating the use of the boat ramp prior to the flooding.

Overall, the Lake Monroe Wayside Park Boat ramp flooding completely shut down the boat ramp for months until the water level returned to normal. Though the park was still open to the public, where fishing and land-side visits were possible, the boat ramp was kept off limits for use.
