Severe Flooding Ravages Fort Lauderdale in Florida's Dry Season

South Florida has been hit by over two feet of rainfall, causing flooding in cars and buildings, including the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which remains closed. Broward County Public Schools have closed for two days due to the floodwaters. The National Weather Service has warned of a "life-threatening situation" and has issued a rare "flash flood emergency." The rainfall is a 1-in-1,000-year event, and extreme precipitation events are becoming more common and severe due to climate change.
