Parts of South Florida including Fort Lauderdale have been inundated with rain over the past two days, causing widespread flooding and trapping residents in their homes and cars. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, where 26 inches of rain fell in a few hours, may be able to reopen this morning. Hollywood got more than 18 inches of the rain and the ground floor of Fort Lauderdale’s City Hall was flooded. It is said to have been a 1-in-1,000-year rainfall event.
