Intense rain in parts of Florida has submerged neighborhoods, turned roads into rivers, closed schools and left more than 108,000 customers without power.

Heavy rain fell over central and southern Florida from Wednesday into early Thursday because of a slow-moving storm system over the Gulf of Mexico.

As many as 7 million people were under flood watches Wednesday. Meanwhile, strong onshore winds created gusts that reached 74 mph at an elevated weather station near Miami and 63 mph at Dania Pier near Fort Lauderdale.

      Because it’s an awesome city. I’ve had a lot more fun here in the past month here than I did in years in NYC.

        Ooof. Timeoutnyc.com etc… I don’t know you, but it sounds more like a lack of friends or network, which is basically impossible in NYC? I’ve been in mia several times, lots more appearance than meaning to a lot of people I met. There were a few cool cats too, but few and far between. Good luck.
