Florida grappling with flooding and high winds, more than 100K customers without power after intense rain
More than 9 inches of rain were recorded in a part of Miami-Dade County; meanwhile, radar estimates between Key Largo and the southern Everglades recorded a whopping 15 to 20 inches.
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.
