The rare and extreme rainfall event that hit South Florida occurred less than two months away from the start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1.
“It's probably even worse than what we would see in a hurricane,” Bill Deger, an AccuWeather senior meteorologist, told USA TODAY.
It’s unusual for one area to be hit with 4 to 6 inches per hour over several hours, according to Deger. He referred to the severe weather event as “almost the perfect storm.”

Big problem. Florida is one ft above sea level. Where’s the water going to go?
I haven’t seen their governor say a single thing about this. A lot of stuff about how he’s gonna take down Disney but nothing about how he’s going to help people in Fort Lauderdale. Why do you keep voting for this nonsense?
But the Gov is going to stick it to Disney!
Smart move – drive away your biggest employer.
Floods and tornados love to go after poor people.
