Flooded Florida Is A Disaster Zone, And More Rain Is Expected

More storms could strike South Florida on Friday after monumental flooding wreaked havoc on Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities, closing schools and government buildings and sending hundreds of residents to seek refuge at emergency shelters.
Many streets turned into lakes across Fort Lauderdale Wednesday and Thursday when a historic volume of rain exceeding 2 feet inundated the South Florida coastal city. The flooding shut down the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The airport tweeted about 7:50 a.m. Friday it still plans to reopen at 9 a.m., as it had hoped earlier.
