Fort Lauderdale’s ABC affiliate reports:

The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is closed until 5 a.m. Friday after rains deposited nearly 30-inch floods in the area. Travelers are asked to avoid coming to the airport ahead of their flights and to check the status of their flights online.

The upper-level road of the airport was opened early Thursday morning to allow people who had been stuck at the airport when the roads were impassable on Wednesday to get picked up by family or friends.

CNN reports:

A 1-in-1,000-year rainfall event – sparking a flash flood emergency in Broward County that has prompted emergency rescues, forced drivers to abandon cars, shuttered schools and shut down the airport through 5 a.m. Friday. And more rain is on the way.

The region recorded widespread rainfall totals of more than a foot, while Fort Lauderdale tallied 25.91 inches in a 24-hour period. Fort Lauderdale’s average rainfall for April is 3 inches.

While the rain Thursday won’t reach nearly the amounts that fell on Wednesday, it will be problematic and create additional flooding, the National Weather Service said. Gusty winds, small hail and even isolated tornadoes are possible.

Newsweek reports:



Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is facing backlash from Donald Trump supporters over his out-of-state travels amid problems back at home.

On Thursday, DeSantis is set to make an appearance in Ohio for a Republican event, but the visit comes as Fort Lauderdale is dealing with unprecedented flooding that has prompted emergency rescues and forced airport and school closures.

Trump supporters used the timing of DeSantis’ Ohio trip to criticize the former president’s friend-turned-foe for leaving his constituents behind to increase his national profile.
