Florida pounded by rain for third straight day as flooding continues

Thunderstorms reemerged over rain-soaked South Florida on Thursday, further inundating the region with floodwaters, forcing road closures and disrupting hundreds of flights as a daylong stretch of severe weather rages on. The storms, which began Tuesday and are the result of a slow-moving low-pressure system, pummeled South Florida with upwards of 2 feet of rain, the National Weather Service said. Multiple people were rescued in the downpour, and officials issued urgent warnings of "life-threatening floods." More severe storms are on the way.
