- Story Text: The residential neighborhood of Hallandale Beach in Florida's Broward County stood partially underwater on Thursday (June 13).
Floodwater rendered streets invisible, with trucks, cars, lawns and palm trees partially submerged.
More torrential downpours fell over South Florida on Thursday (June 13) after at least a foot of rain deluged an area spanning the Gulf Coast into Miami this week, leading the National Weather Service to issue flood watches or warnings for 8 million people.
Some areas, including portions of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, are seeing "life-threatening flooding," the weather service said.
A few spots have reported up to 18-to-25 inches of rain since Monday (June 10), said Bob Oravec, a forecaster with the NWS's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.
The slow-moving storm - a disorganized tropical depression drawing its strength from warm Gulf Coast and Atlantic waters - is expected to linger over the state until early Saturday (June 15) before pushing out to sea, Oravec said.
Even though the system is not expected to turn into a tropical storm, it could be a wet prelude to what is expected to be a busy hurricane season, which began June 1.
With another 5 inches of rain possible before Friday night, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for five South Florida Counties late on Wednesday (June 12).
