Palm Beach County just took a historic soaking. West Palm Beach recorded 7.39 inches on Nov 2 alone, and the official Nov 1–2 total hit 11.67 inches — more than three times a typical November. Some northern parts of the county saw roughly 15–19 inches over a few days, and standing water stuck around after stormwater systems were overwhelmed. 🌧️
If your yard is still saturated, a few steps help:
• Turn irrigation off until soils drain
• Confirm rain sensors are working so the system isn't adding water on wet days
• Watch lawns and ornamentals for fungal issues after prolonged wet soils (yellowing, thinning, or irregular patches)
When soils stay wet that long, fungus pressure goes up. Our approach is fungicide treatment plus continued observation of the area.
