Photos shared by Orange County Fire Rescue show the first responders using boats to rescue residents from flooded areas of Orlando, including the Rio Pinar neighborhood and the Avante at Orlando nursing home near Lake Baldwin.

The slow-moving storm dumped as much as 20 inches of rain on areas from Orlando to Daytona Beach causing significant flooding in nearly all corners of the Orlando metro. Videos shared on social media show Lake Eola topping its banks and spilling into the streets of downtown Orlando. Interstate ramps along I-4 turned into rivers due to the sheer amount of water Ian dropped on the area. MCO remains closed as the roads leading to the airport are underwater.

Ian has since been downgraded to a tropical storm. The storm’s center is currently located on the eastern coast of central Florida. There’s still significant amounts of rain expected and  widespread flooding is still a major concern.

The City of Orlando is asking residents to stay off the roadways and to self-evacuate only if their home is flooding. Below you’ll find local reports and images of the extent of flooding in Orlando.

I just can’t stop thinking about how it costs $5500 for an hour of Mickey and Minnie’s time at a Disneyland wedding https://t.co/R9cQMTN9MJ— Cody (@codybondarchuk) June 8, 2022

my brain cannot comprehend this, in theory I should be ok with it, but I cannot process it, imagine going to an Indian wedding and there is NO FOOD, there would also be no marriage in fact there would be riots, in fact if it was Haryana there would be gunfire, and about 6 murders https://t.co/KcBqpeMEZR— Shiv Ramdas Traing To Rite Buk (@nameshiv) June 7, 2022

"There's nothing wrong with Disney adults, they're just two steps away from worshiping a corporate mascot as their god" is not the reassurance you think it is Jodi https://t.co/b8k7Zodi2i— Γγ ☕🪶💀🦋⌛🧟‍♀️🪄😈🎲 (@gammashitlord) June 7, 2022

sorry but saying "disney is a huge part of our marriage" sounds no different to me than "taco bell is a huge part of our marriage". "pfizer is a huge part of our marriage". it's weird to have this much brand loyalty https://t.co/N0nYbJxCNA— ゲロに浸した死体 (@CATACLYSTA) June 8, 2022
“Disney adults see Mickey Mouse as God actually” might be the weirdest and most ineffective defense of Disney adults I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/R9ZFDyojTa pic.twitter.com/67HtdLr73M— DefinitelyNotArms (@NotHeaviestArms) June 7, 2022
