Parts of the Jade Isle mobile home park along Lake Runnymede in Osceola County remained flooded Friday, leaving some residents still unable to return home a week after Hurricane Ian.

On Friday night, the water levels were still high in the community, which is less than a mile from East Lake Toho.

“This water," said Rosa Rodriguez, who has lived in the neighborhood for the past four years. "Water, water, water, water, water.” 

When the storm hit and the are started to flood, Rodriguez was forced out of her home.

“Neighbors says, 'That is an emergency, go, go, go, go,'” she said.

This kind of flooding is something Rodriguez said she has never seen before.

“It’s the first time that it has happened,” she said.

On Friday, she was back in the community with family members to collect some mail and look at the water levels. However, she still wasn’t able to get back home because nothing has changed since she left.

“For one week, it’s the same," she said. "The water has stopped."

The flooding is believed to have crested along East Lake Toho, meaning the high water levels in Rodriguez's neighborhood could soon begin to recede, but officials said they don't think it will be a quick process.

Rodriguez said she was told it could take another couple of weeks before the water starts to move out of her neighborhood.

“Fourteen days for the water gone,” she said.

She has been living with family members, but she couldn’t take any of her belongings with her.

“This is my sister-in-law’s clothes because I don’t have nothing,” Rodriguez said.

She said he is scared her belongings could have been damaged by the floodwaters, but will have to wait until she gets back in her home to evaluate the damage.
