People are suffering due to bad weather in many parts of America. According to weather experts, severe storm warnings have been issued in the northeast and midwest of America. Due to this, there is a possibility of flooding in South Florida. The entire area is submerged due to low pressure conditions after record rainfall last week.
According to reports, the storm that began on Tuesday brought eight to 20 inches of rain to a large area of Florida. Meanwhile, hundreds of people trapped in homes and cars in floodwaters were rescued. The rain closed parts of major highways in Florida and affected flights at airports in Miami and Ford Lauderdale.

According to reports, isolated severe storms and locally heavy rainfall are expected across parts of the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Central Plains through Saturday. There may also be a risk of flash flooding across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Saturday.
A statement from the city of Fort Lauderdale said three pump trucks were cleaning up local flooding and, although waters had begun to recede, roads are expected to flood again as the storm continues. Both Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach are under flood watches until 8 p.m., with several locations open where residents can pick up free sandbags.
