South Florida Struggles with Floods and Gas Shortages Amidst Frustration and Criticism.
TL;DR
Residents in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, are still dealing with flooding issues caused by historic rain, with many homes and yards remaining flooded. The continuing rain has slowed the process of receding waters. Residents impacted have been totaling up the value of everything they lost, both inside and outside of their homes. Fort Lauderdale officials are concerned that all of the standing water could be attracting mosquitos and are about to launch a debris removal operation. A GoFundMe page was created to help one family recover.
