BRADENTON, Fla. — Bradenton Police were on the scene of a broken water line on Tuesday night. 

Video from the police department shows water gushing down the 1900 block of 13th Avenue East, according to a Facebook post.

The end of the video showed a car driving through the flooded street as waters rushed down, almost looking like a stream. 

It is unknown if the water line has been fixed. 

The broken water line and flooding come just a day before Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall and bring major storm surge and rainfall to Manatee County. 

The county is expected to get a surge of 10 to 15 feet with rainfalls totaling 6 to 10 inches.
