"Remember - if the time between a lightning flash & thunderclap is less than 30 seconds, you may be in the 'strike zone,'" the department's post read. "Where possible, stay indoors during a thunderstorm, avoid bodies of water, keep away from metal objects, and avoid standing near tall outdoor structures (poles, trees, etc)."

A wave of heavy rain and storms moved through South Florida on Monday, triggering a flash flood warning for parts of Broward that expired in the afternoon.
