What to do
Do not drive on flooded roads. The National Weather Service says most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Turn around and find another route.
Move to higher ground if water is rising near you. Stay away from creeks, canals, underpasses and low-lying areas, and never drive around barricades.
Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
When it is safe, report flooding you see to local emergency services or law enforcement so they can pass it to the National Weather Service.
Context
Flood-insurance records from FEMA show 35086 claims in Broward County and 10791 in Palm Beach County between 1978 and 2026. These counts cover only insured properties, so they understate total flood losses.
Both counties have had FEMA disaster declarations in recent years, including Hurricane Milton in October 2024 and Hurricane Ian in September 2022. Broward also had a declaration for severe storms, tornadoes and flooding in April 2023.
Updates
- The National Weather Service extended the flash flood warning until 9:00 PM EST.
