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.
Lol I remember you… Former city boy as well, still don’t get why tf you’d pick MIA.
Good luck, buddy.
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.
I looked on there multiple times. NYC is so spread out that even people I became friends with it was difficult to see due to the shitty transit outside of Manhattan. I had a bunch of friends up in Astoria, but since I was down by Park Slope (Windsor Terrace) it could easily take me an hour or more just to get up there. Some even lived further out in Queens. It took me about an hour to get over to my friend in Jersey City, and if I hung out with him past midnight it could easily take me 1.5-2 hours to get home. I did the track multiple times.
Yeah, I feel ya. I wound up just using my bicycle most of the time. Tell me how I’m faster riding from 125th to 59th on my bicycle than the A??
Lived in east new York for a while, now that was annoying, transit-wise.
I live near LA now. NYC’s spread-out is comical, comparitively. Sigh, I really miss the NYC nightlife. At least Miami has that going for it, plus the cool art deco buildings. Not that LA doesn’t have it, but you can’t really walk.
