2,755 first-hand accounts of flood events in Florida, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
A tropical wave moving over South Florida provided an environment for widespread showers and thunderstorms with high rainfall rates on the afternoon and evening of July 27th.

This allowed for numerous scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to bring localized flooding from the rainfall and locally gusty winds, especially in the eastern metro of South Florida…

Read the full account →Veering southerly flow ahead of an approaching cold front helped to advect a rich plume of low-level moisture across South Florida. As showers and thunderstorms associated with the front pushed through the area and stalled, this translated into heavy rainfall and flooding across…
