FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – Thunderstorms that pummelled Fort Lauderdale and other parts of south-eastern Florida with up to 0.6m of rain were expected to pick up again on Thursday, after the storms trapped motorists in floodwaters and left travellers stranded inside a shuttered international airport.
If confirmed, the rainfall total would smash Fort Lauderdale’s one-day record of 37cm, which was set on April 25, 1979. The city, which lies in Broward County on Florida’s Atlantic coast, is one of the largest in the state.“I’ve lived here my entire life,” said Ms Dawn Grayson, 49, who sat in traffic for four hours after arriving at the airport to learn that her flight to Las Vegas had been cancelled. “I’ve never seen anything like that happen before.
The additional rainfall expected on Thursday would fall on ground that is already saturated, raising the possibility of further localised flooding, the weather service said.
