More storms are expected in South Florida today after intense downpours earlier this week produced flash flooding, blocked roads, and flight delays and cancellations across the region.

Governor Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency late Wednesday for five South Florida counties where rain totals have reached up to 25 inches. Eight million people remain under a flood watch.

Miami International and Ft. Lauderdale Airports reported nearly half of all flights were delayed, including the flight for the Florida Panthers, who were on their way to a Stanley Cup Final game in Canada on Thursday.

Fort Lauderdale, where the mayor declared a local state of emergency, received its entire average June rainfall of around 9.5 inches in just 24 hours on Wednesday.
