"The FHP has closed the Florida Turnpike in both directions from mile markers 254 through 267 due to significant flooding. The northbound lanes are closed from mile marker 254, and the southbound lanes are closed from mile marker 267. This area of the Turnpike in Orange County will remain closed until the storm passes and the flooding subsides.
