Life-threatening rainfall pummeling South Florida that’s closed I-95 and caused major delays at the region’s two largest airports Wednesday is now being considered a flash flood emergency — an “exceedingly rare” circumstance classified by forecasters when catastrophic damage is imminent.

Around 3:40 p.m., the National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency for portions of southern Broward County and northern Miami-Dade County. The emergency is in effect until 8:00 pm.

Cities under the emergency advisory: Miami Gardens, North Miami Beach, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Miramar and Dania Beach. Other urban city centers in both counties will see the greatest threat of flash flooding.

I check Ryan Hall’s page when severe weather hits So. Fla. He’s usually very spot-on. I also appreciate his calm delivery.

I was just reading about that. My winter home is just north of you a few miles.

Same here. His delivery style is always reassuring.
