A dangerous rainstorm in June again turned several South Florida roads and parks into rivers and lakes, creating traffic jams, stranding vehicles and forcing residents to wade through the streets with their shoes in hand.
The deluge, which worsened Wednesday afternoon, resulted in severe flooding that prompted authorities to close portions of southbound Interstate 95 near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Hundreds of flights were delayed at Fort Lauderdale and Miami airports, and roads and intersections became impassable in Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Hollywood, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and other parts of South Florida.
The National Weather Service issued several warnings Wednesday, including a rare flash flood for parts of southern Broward County and northern Miami-Dade County, in effect until 8 p.m.
