MIAMI (WSVN) - A string of showers drenched South Florida on Monday afternoon as residents dealt with wet weather and flooding concerns.
Wet conditions began around 2 p.m. and led to some areas in Miami getting flooded.
Residents are concerned as rain-caused floods continue to rise to high levels in their communities.
“I only have one year living here and this is the first time the water come up,” said Osvaldo Fernandez, who had flooding near his home.
7News cameras captured a busy street parking situation in Northeast 23rd Street and Fourth, East of Biscayne Boulevard where the water nearly reached the bottom of the headlights of some standard-sized sedans.
Flooding was also seen in the Edgewater neighborhood, near the Adrienne Arsht Center and North Bayshore Drive.
Rideshare drivers joined in on sharing their challenges.
“The flooding is all around the city, it’s unbelievable,” said driver Hector Martinez. “This is so bad.”
Residents were also seen wading in water above shin level.
Officials warn residents that even six inches of rain can cause a driver to lose control of a vehicle, and warn against driving in the flood conditions unless necessary.
A tree also snapped in two pieces, a large part of it falling onto the road in the area of Northwest Third Avenue and 22nd Street in Miami.
Miami Police has closed off 22nd Street until the removal of the tree occurs.
While power was affected from the stormy weather during the day, as of late Monday night, all power lines were once again functioning. Northwest 27th Avenue re-opened and one lane of Third Street remains closed.
As of Monday evening, similar weather is forecasted for the Tuesday.
