Fort Lauderdale residents consider selling homes due to fear of flooding.
Fort Lauderdale residents are dealing with severe flooding caused by last week's record rainstorm, with some neighborhoods experiencing knee-deep water. Many residents have suffered severe damage to their homes, with some lacking flood insurance. City officials are assessing the damage and hoping to qualify for FEMA assistance if enough homes report damage. The city's comfort stations are open to serve residents, and residents can request mosquito service to prevent breeding in standing water.
