FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis have asked the federal government for aid in the wake.

The large blocky building at 100 North Andrews Ave. in downtown Fort Lauderdale was never in danger of coming down. But floodwaters infiltrated from above and below.
Many roads in Fort Lauderdale remained impassable on Thursday morning, city officials said. Close to 26 inches of rain fell in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday, with most of that falling in just six hours, according to the National Weather Service.
