"One of the real important things we emphasize is that most likely there is street flooding and pumping of water on the roadways," said Anthony Reynes, senior meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Miami. "Drivers must exercise extreme caution and don't cross flooded streets because you don't know what's in there. Most people that die in flooding die within vehicles."
As of Monday morning, Hurricane Milton, fueled by the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, accelerated into a Category 4 storm with much of Florida's Gulf Coast on alert. For South Florida, a low preceding Milton is expected to bring heavy rain and flash flooding starting on Monday and continuing through Thursday.
