This is going to be very hard to find, at least one that has a interactive image available on the web. I assume that is what you are looking for here?
There are plenty of good radar links that have fairly detailed maps, what are you needing street level zooming for??

Many local news stations offer such things for a monthly fee.. There are a few here in central florida that do it. You can get right down to street names.. And drag your mouse to a location and it will tell you when the storm will reach specific streets etc..

I want this so i can better pinpoint when a bad thunderstorm might be approaching us or if it is and what direction ect. to be able to pull it up by street would be amazing but if not at least a better generalized area then ftlauderdale.

Well, I can give you a link to a piece of software that can do this, but nothing I know of online can do what you are talking about.

Yes, there are a lot of software programs that can do this for you... But, for what you explain above I don't see any reason to need 'street level', I think just a decent radar that you can zoom in on would be sufficient.
I don't believe you need street level capabilities when you are just looking to see if the storm will hit or miss you. Most storms are not that small of a feature...

With the wunderground NEXRAD radar, you can zoom in pretty close, not exactly street level but close enough to tell which way storms are going.
