South Florida braces for more rain after week’s soggy start

After a soggy start to the week South Florida residents can expect more rain in the forecast as wet weather continues to linger across the region Mother nature was on full display from Miami-Dade County to Broward County for much of Tuesday The downpours began rather early in Brickell as thick black clouds filled the morning sky slowing down the normal hustle and bustle News spoke to residents as they maneuvered through the soggy weather He s not a fan of the weather mentioned a man in reference to his dog Yeah he doesn t like the rain echoed a woman On Monday the wicked weather started off later in the day in Miami-Dade County making the afternoon commute a bit tricky for drivers as roads looked more like rivers saturated streets leaving cars stalled out and wild winds wreaking havoc on trees and powerlines A photo shared with News revealed a tree on Southwest th Court and st Street that fell in the roadway narrowly missing a truck parked nearby and downing a powerline in the process A bird s eye view from a downtown Miami high-rise indicated the traffic pile up due to the flooding below the overpass In Brickell business owners placed sandbags in front of their storefronts to prevent water from entering But that would be ineffective on Southeast Ninth Street near the Brickell City Center as water entirely covered the sidewalk One driver was seen riding the curb hoping to drive through shallower waters A low-lying luxury Lamborghini was seen taking its chances as it drove through flooded roadways But despite the wild weather life goes on with more severe weather expected to continue across South Florida throughout Tuesday evening We literally have left the apartment for the first time at present explained a man It s been pouring all day It s definitely getting a bit flooded It s a little bit harder a woman added Weather leaders declared Tuesday will be more showers than storms with fewer showers and storms expected Wednesday as a thicker plume of Saharan Dust settles into the region
