JENSEN BEACH — Strong winds and heavy
rain triggered multiple weather alerts across Palm Beach County and the
Treasure Coast on Wednesday, leaving some drivers stranded and others
dealing with water intrusion inside their homes.

In Jensen Beach,
Lillian Foy is seeking answers after rainfall brought
flooding into her unit at the Atlantis Condominiums, where
she has lived since 2019.
"It is paradise. It's definitely paradise," Foy said.
However, heavy downpours continue to make their way inside.
Foy said water intrusion is an ongoing issue, seeping
through her ceiling, walls, and floors every time there is
major rainfall.
"You can see the water," Foy said. "Then, this is the buró
and you could see the wall behind there that's bubbled," Foy
said.
Foy and other residents have been seeking solutions for
months while dealing with unfinished stucco repairs. Foy
explains some of her neighbors have paid for ceiling repairs
from the leaks. |

"Actually, I've been
telling association about this for over six months and they
said they're going to get to it. They're going to it and
they still didn't get to it," Foy said.
WPTV Reporter Zitlali Solache reached out to the homeowners
association about the issue and is waiting to hear back.
Foy hopes a solution comes soon, before the next round of
rain.
"I hope there's a solution there's got to be because it is
only gonna get worse. It's never going to get better," Foy
said. "I'm just continue to watch here. Keep towels on the
floor to catch the rain water coming in and that's all I
could do," Foy said.
