Heavy rain and lightning greeted the faithful early Sunday, and threatened the traditional end to Jeep Beach, the Jeep Beach Sweep Parade down Volusia County’s beaches.
But even the inclement weather couldn t stop hundreds of Jeep enthusiasts and their vehicles from rolling onto the sands from the International Speedway Boulevard approach in Daytona Beach to the Dunlawton Avenue approach in Daytona Beach Shores to the International Speedway Boulevar.
At least 3,000 Jeep vehicles were on the beach braving the rain, said Charlene Greer, founder of the Jeep Beach event.
The event brought 200,000 Jeep event fans to Daytona Beach. More than 20,000 Jeep vehicles participated in the week long event, Greer said.

Nearly six years have passed since Eileen Peluffo vanished after traveling from North Carolina to Florida for vacation, and her daughter Rosa is still searching for answers.
“I just want to know what happened,” Rosa de Saron Caro told Dateline. “She’s been gone for six years… we all need closure.”
Rosa was 16 years old when her mother disappeared. She spoke to her on the phone just before leaving with family on a mission trip to Costa Rica. Rosa told her mother they’d be gone for the summer but they made plans to be in touch and get together when they returned.
