South Florida kept a wary eye on a forecast that called for more rain as it cleaned up Thursday from an unprecedented storm system that dumped upwards of 60 centimetres of rain in a matter of hours, causing widespread flooding, closing the Fort Lauderdale airport, and turning thoroughfares into rivers.
The National Weather Service says up to 25 inches of rain fell near Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. The airport is expected to reopen Friday morning. The rains started Monday, with the heaviest downpours coming Wednesday afternoon and evening.
