More than a foot of rain fell overnight in Orange County last night with winds of up to 80mph, according to reports, with Disney World, Universal and other major theme parks in the area affected by the weather event.

According to the National Hurricane Center, “widespread, life-threatening catastrophic flooding, with major to record river flooding, will continue today across portions of central Florida”.

At Disney World, flooding is a major concern, while video shot at Universal shows cars submerged in the water.

This WAS the entrance to the Double Tree by Hilton hotel at Universal Studios.

And those cars across Major Blvd used to be working cars. Likely not anymore. @MyNews13 #HurricaneIan#flooding pic.twitter.com/CpoHyAqeQD

Footage of the event also shows the severity of the weather overnight, with nearly 150,000 people in Orange County without power.

We’re seeing a few flashes in the sky in the direction of Universal Studios. Not clear exactly where it’s coming from, but likely transformers blowing.

We still have power in our area. Nearly 150,000 power customers in Orange Co have lost power.
