Intense rain in parts of Florida has submerged neighborhoods, turned roads into rivers, closed schools and left more than 108,000 customers without power.
Heavy rain fell over central and southern Florida from Wednesday into early Thursday because of a slow-moving storm system over the Gulf of Mexico.
As many as 7 million people were under flood watches Wednesday. Meanwhile, strong onshore winds created gusts that reached 74 mph at an elevated weather station near Miami and 63 mph at Dania Pier near Fort Lauderdale.
I just moved to Miami last month, from the NYC area and it rained hard for nearly 20 hours. It was raining so hard that I could hear the rain just pelting down on the courtyard 40 feet below me through my glass sliding door and over my TV. We got not one, but two emergency warnings that pretty much said “don’t go outside unless you absolutely have to , you might die”.
I haven’t seen it rain that hard and steadily since Hurricane Sandy hit NJ and NYC.
Lol I remember you… Former city boy as well, still don’t get why tf you’d pick MIA.
Good luck, buddy.
