Traffic snarled, drivers ignore laws amid flooding in North Miami

Coastal areas of North Miami saw significant flooding Wednesday.

[@MilePost106]

Amazing people will drive their cars through 2 feet of water only to find out the motor sucked up a ton of water.

[@johnkeithracho3944]

2 feet of water will already pick up many cars including SUV and pick up trucks.

[@djbillye4943]

Water will bridge the wires and cause electrocution

This message is for everyone who is reading it: The Lord Jesus came down from heaven, sent by God the Father, to teach us how to live, and to die/pay for our sins on the cross. Then God raised Him from the dead on the third day. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Now, God commands everyone who is reading this message to repent (turn away from your sinful ways), and to put their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. Don’t die in your sins: Repent, and put your faith in Jesus. The Lord Jesus came to save, not to condemn. The Lord is coming soon. (John 3:17)

Thank God all of this is flooded, what a terrible place to live, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Homestead, Kendall, Coral Springs, Coral Gables. ALL OF THIS is a result of the Army Corps destroying and altering Florida’s ecosystem in the early 1900s, all these giant cities with high rises can suffer living in a place that used to be marsh :)

Welcome to “Idiocracy”. I agree with other’s comments, community makes all the difference. Seems the bigger the city the bigger the attitude. If the police officer wanted to stop the traffic he could’ve led by example and actually got out of his vehicle to direct traffic. I understand it’s raining and that officer will be miserable at times, that’s why it’s called a JOB!
