What parts of Florida flooded? Here are the five counties under a state of emergency, photos – MASHAHER


A slow-moving, low-pressure system of summer thunderstorms rolled over south Florida this week and has been slamming the region with a record amount of rainfall (around 10-15 inches on Wednesday), flooding cars, homes, streets and parking lots.

The storms began Tuesday and are expected to persist throughout the rest of the week.

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency to coordinate and mobilize recovery efforts; the mayors of Fort Lauderdale, Miami and other cities also made emergency declarations,” USA TODAY reported. “With many roads still under several feet of water, any more rain could be dangerous, especially for Collier, Miami-Dade and Broward counties, which includes the cities of Naples, Miami and Fort Lauderdale.”

Here are photos of the flooding in south Florida this week.
