Naples, Florida, Deluge: Heavy Rain Brings Flash Flooding Published: Aug 4, 2014, 10:15 PM EDT weather.com Flood Warning for Naples, Florida Flash flooding hit Naples, Florida, Monday as more than 6.5 inches of rain fell in about 5 hours. It was the city's wettest day in over 29 years. SSuddeth/Twitter This photo from SSuddeth on Twitter shows a car stranded outside Coastland Mall in Naples, Florida. The rain created major traffic headaches. According to WINK News, flooding turned Interstate 75 and the heavily-traveled U.S. 41 into a nightmare. The Collier County Sheriff's Office said Hunter Boulevard was under 15 inches of water at one point. Photos from social media shows cars stalled on highways and water reaching higher than tires. The heaviest rain fell early. The National Weather Service said 3.94 inches were recorded at the Naples airport between 12:53 p.m. and 1:53 p.m. That one hour of rain alone made it the wettest August day on record in Naples, breaking the old record of 3.84 inches on Aug. 11, 1958. The flash flood warning was canceled around 5:30, but more rain was possible through the evening. As of 9 p.m., Naples had received 6.71 inches of rain for the day, making it the city's wettest single day since July 23, 1985. weather.com

(In related news the Rays are switching from baseball to becoming a Ping Pong team) David Price strikes out 10 in his Detroit debut; Tigers top Yanks in 12 Associated Press NEW YORK -- David Price gave his new team a chance to win. Later, his catcher delivered the deciding stroke. Price struck out 10 in his Detroit debut and was long gone when Alex Avila homered in the 12th inning to lift the Tigers to a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees on Tuesday. "Happy it's over, and happy we won," Price said. "Finally feel part of the team." Price pitched 8 2/3 innings and left with the score 3-all. The AL Central leaders got Price from Tampa Bay the past Thursday in a three-team deal minutes before the tradeg deadline. The lefty ace got to keep his No. 14; center fielder Austin Jackson, who wore it with the Tigers, was sent to Seattle in the swap. Price leads the majors in strikeouts (199) and innings (179 1/3). "He really looked exactly like he did in Tampa, except he had the Tiger uniform," manager Brad Ausmus said. Bushy bearded Joba Chamberlainrelieved Price, and the crowd booed the formerly clean-shaven, former Yankees reliever. "I was a little worried about him being amped up -- being in New York," Ausmus said. Chamberlain got four outs without permitting a hit. "I didn't know what to expect," he said. "I definitely had to take a couple of deep breaths." The Yankees are in the midst of facing Detroit's three Cy Young Award winners. They edged Max Scherzer on Monday and will next see Justin Verlander on Wednesday. Avila homered with one out off Matt Daley (0-1). Joakim Soria (2-4) got the win. Joe Nathan earned his 23rd save in 28 tries by retiring Chase Headley on a leadoff drive that was caught at the right-field wall. "Two strikes, you know, you're not taking a full-blown normal swing," Headley said. "But yeah, I felt I got enough of it that it had a chance. Unfortunately, it came up just short." This was the Yankees' 16th straight game decided by two or fewer runs. They're 9-7 in that span. It's the longest such streak in the majors since a 16-game stretch by Baltimore in 1975, the team said in citing the Elias Sports Bureau. Tigers outfielder Torii Hunterexited with a bruised left hand after being hit by a pitch from Dellin Betances in the ninth. Hunter was listed as day-to-day. "You always think the worst," he said with his hand bandaged. "I thought it was broke." Brian McCann and Martin Pradohit solo home runs for the Yankees, who had won three in a row. The Tigers tied it at 3 in the seventh, helped by some smart swinging by Victor Martinez. The cleanup man led off by hitting an easy grounder to the uncovered left side of the Yankees' over-shifted infield for a single, then scored on a two-out single by Avila. Andrew Romine homered in the Detroit sixth. TRAINER'S ROOM Tigers: Shortstop Eugenio Suarezdidn't play the day after spraining his left knee while sliding into second base on a steal. Ausmus said there's a chance Suarez could play Wednesday. Yankees: First baseman Mark Teixeira went 0-for-5. He was a late scratch Monday because he felt lightheaded. ... Left-hander CC Sabathia says doctors took out a bone chip they found in his knee when they did season-ending surgery last week. He'll soon get a stem-cell injection. He expects to ready for spring training. ON DECK Verlander (10-9, 4.66 ERA) starts against Chris Capuano (1-2, 4.50 ERA). Verlander is 0-2 in five regular-season starts at the new Yankee Stadium. There's no telling if his special fan will be in the stands -- Verlander flipped a ball to supermodel Kate Upton on Monday night, but she wasn't sitting in her seat behind the Tigers dugout Tuesday. JOBA THE BEARD Yankees manager Joe Girardi got a good look at Chamberlain and said "his beard is quite large." Girardi said he asked Chamberlain if he's ever found anything hidden in the bushy growth and the pitcher told him: "Sometimes, guys try to sneak seeds in there." SPIKED With a runner on second and one out in the seventh, Brendan Ryanhit a soft liner that Kinsler caught. Kinsler pivoted and tried to throw to second for a double play but slipped and tossed the ball straight into the ground. Fortunately for the Tigers, it went right to first baseman Miguel Cabrera.
