Driving in Miami under Heavy rain and ‘life-threatening flooding’ 6/12/2024

CNN
-
Multiple communities across South Florida - including the Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas - flooded Wednesday amid bouts of torrential rain that prompted the state’s governor to declare an emergency and stranded drivers across the region.
Flood warnings are in effect Wednesday night for parts of Broward, Miami-Dade, Collier and Hendry counties through Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service, which warned “life-threatening flooding” was ongoing. Flood watches were also extended for Miami and Fort Lauderdale until Friday evening.
“Many areas are inundated with water w/ stalled cars & more rainfall is on the way,” the weather service said Wednesday night. “Stay off the roadways if possible.”

People down here in South Florida absolutely suck at driving.Nobody uses turn signals and everyone is just so aggressive my goodness

[@INeedJesus4sure]

If they honk a little louder I am sure the rain will recede quicker

[@di4085]

People were crazy with their horns. People need to slow down and not be in a hurry especially during storms.

[@MarcusAGreene]

That’s Miami for ya lol

[@wolferson14]

Yeah people are ridiculous, running stop sign and everything. I never understand why Miami people be in a rush

[@di4085]

@@wolferson14 if they were running a stop signs during the flooding that I can understand because they probably didn't want to stop and then end up flooding the engine. Maybe that was the reason for all the honking to keep people moving.

Jeezus...I am gonna be down there in a few months (God willing). I really hope everyone stays safe and can get back on their feet in a timely fashion

One of the problems there is there is no High Ground to park your vehicle. But if I did live there I would buy ramps to put my car up on.

[@whatchamacallit70]

You would need ramps for your house too

Pretty nice video and scenery of this bad weather pattern that struck the beautiful city of Miami, hopefully in a few weeks everything will be back to normal again.. thanks for sharing this… Tony j. from Indiana…🙌🏼👍👏🏼🏢📸😃

Took me an hour and a half to travel 6 miles from North Miami (Biscayne) to Sunny Isles.. Im amazed the counties have not invested in street drains.

[@5kcityvideos979]

Apparently they have some other priorities. They don’t care, that’s why we pay insurance like we all drive million $ cars

[@Chavez787]

Haven’t they invested in pumps and also elevated some streets like Collins Ave?

In Thailand, using your car horn at others might be interpreted as though you're declaring war.

[@Tampa0123456789]

People Florida is At sea level 😂. Even heading inland is not much better because it's former Swamp land. You have to head to North Florida and away from the coast like Zephyrhills, Ocala ,Gainesville or just leave the whole state 😂.
