DAYTONA BEACH - Governor Charlie Crist is asking that a federal disaster be declared after heavy rains flooded central and northeast Florida.

Crist penned the letter to President Barack Obama on Sunday asking for Washington's help dealing with the aftermath of the storm.

Volusia County has been the hardest hit and Daytona Beach is the epicenter. That city recorded nearly 21 inches of rain last week.

The state now says more than 1,500 homes have been damaged. An early estimate recorded about $55.1 million in losses.
