DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Officials are fanning out across Volusia County today assessing damage from flooding. The Volusia County Property Appraisers Office, Florida Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are on the ground Sunday tallying the damage. Their report will be sent to the governor s office for review and to determine if a request for a federal disaster declaration should be made. Saturday marked the sixth day of rain across the greater Daytona Beach area and some areas reported flooding up to waist-deep. An initial survey earlier this week estimated around 1,000 homes and businesses with damages totaling about $55.1 million.
