Mudslide damages Clermont home, nearby SR-50 at risk

A large mudslide in Lake County has put a section of State Road 50 in Clermont at risk and flooded a nearby home with several feet of mud after washing out a huge section of earth following strong thunderstorms Tuesday night. A mudslide might be the last thing you expect in Florida, but it’s what came crashing through one woman’s window last night on Sunnyside Drive just off of State Road 50. Myriam Suarez returned to her Sunnyside Drive home below the bridge about 9pm Tuesday after heavy rains.
