Vero Lake Estates, located southwest of Sebastian and east of Interstate 95 near County Road 512, was severely affected by the November 2023 Northern Indian River County floods after more than 10 to 13 inches of rain fell in the area within roughly 24 hours. At 94th Street and 100th Court, the neighborhood looked more like a river the day after the rainfall, according to local news coverage, with road signs posted warning drivers to turn around due to flooding so deep that some had to reverse their vehicles rather than continue through. Longtime resident Elizabeth Clearwater, who had lived in the area since 1994, nearly 30 years at the time, described the event directly: we get flooding with storms, but this is the most I've seen, capturing just how exceptional this particular flood was even for an area accustomed to periodic flooding. We are a Florida state-licensed mold remediation team.

Resident Elizabeth Clearwater described seeing cars stalled out in the middle of roads as she attempted to leave her own street, conditions she found so severe that they created real complications for daily life, with one resident specifically noting they had to share a single working vehicle between household members because their other vehicle wasn't suited to navigate the flooded streets.
