Got a call from my son that lives down there and he said there is water everywhere.

[southerngale]

Dang. How much rain has Miami received today? I just ran a loop from the past few hours and a 24 hour loop from yesterday and it doesn't look like much, but I guess it was from earlier today, not in the last couple of hours. I was trying to see what they got, but this isn't the most detailed radar, but it gives a nice "overall" that covers more time than some of them.

I hope your son is ok. Flooding sux!

[tropicana]

1.59 inches of rain at the Miami International Airport today, a new record for May 20.

3.71 inches fell at Opa Locka Airport.

[HURAKAN]

In the news they said that this morning between 6 & 8 inches of rain had fallen in the Miami Beach area.

[ncupsscweather]

Yes there has been some impressive photo's come in from the flooding down there.

[MusicCityMan]

I'm guessing the area around Collins Ave wasn't too badly flooded?... We're just a couple 100 miles north and we can't buy a drop of rain up here.. even if it was being given away

Spurts of rain Sunday flooded parts of South Florida, which still remains in a drought. More showers are expected today.

Weather forecast
Five inches of rain flooded parts of North Miami-Dade Sunday, stalling cars at downtown Miami intersections and leaving Miami Beach tourists to slog through standing water on their way to hotels.

The bone-dry ground was so parched that it was unable to absorb so much moisture so quickly.

''It's not even June yet,'' said Michael Stewart, who lives in the 300 block of Northeast 141st Street in North Miami-Dade. ``What will it be like when it rains for a whole day?''

Flooded streets forced police to shut down roads and contributed to car crashes throughout the day, including several on Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade.

`SPINNING OUT'

''Everyone has been spinning out and hitting the wall,'' Florida Highway Patrol Duty Officer Tania Clark said. ``We've had so many calls.''

A family of five was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital after a 3:30 p.m. crash with a Miami-Dade police cruiser in North Central Miami-Dade, a fire-rescue spokesman said. The police officer involved was not seriously injured, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Lt. Eddy Ballester said.

''The rain we've been seeing on and off all day has unfortunately caused a lot of these types of crashes,'' Ballester said.

Rain totals were highest around North Miami Beach, Golden Beach and North Miami. The heavy rains missed most of Broward County, which reported a few evening showers.

''One area got all the rain,'' National Weather Service meteorologist Roberto Garcia said.

The rain fell mostly along the coast, not inland or near Lake Okeechobee, South Florida's major water reservoir, the weather service reported.

Translation: There is still a drought.

NOT MUCH IMPACT

''This is probably going to have very little effect on the drought,'' weather service meteorologist Bob Ebaugh told The Associated Press. ``If it were over Lake Okeechobee, we'd be in a much better picture.''

Rain last week and Sunday did help the drought situation somewhat, meteorologists said.

Most of Miami-Dade and Broward remains in a moderate drought, according to the weather service. The condition in South Miami-Dade is considered abnormally dry. Parts of Palm Beach County continue to endure an extreme drought.

More clouds and afternoon thunderstorms are likely today and throughout the week in Miami-Dade and Broward, with the rain tapering off to isolated showers by the weekend, forecasters said.

Miami Herald staff writer Jacqueline Charles contributed to this report.

[Dr. Jonah Rainwater]

Great, 6-8" inches of rain and it all ends up in Biscayne Bay...

[boca]

I don't believe Ft Lauderdale got a drop of rain from this episode.
