Old Orchard was shut down by the county following Tropical Storm Debby’s visit to town. As the storm dumped an estimated 10-plus inches of rain on the area, she also caused some damage. Case in point: the storm drain under Old Orchard.

The road will remain closed until work crews have had the opportunity to repair the damage, Valdez said. Right now the estimate is next Friday, July 13.
