Miami International Airport led the reports with nearly 5” of rain. Locally, heavy rain made for a tough early commute and provided some inconvenient street flooding.

In Hialeah, the heavy rain was blamed for a partial roof collapse that injured a 10-month baby.

The deluge also caused some trouble near Miami International Airport after several vehicles got stuck due to heavy flooding. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was called out to help people who were unable to get out of their vehicles. The incident happened just before 10 a.m. on Waterford Way in the area of Blue Lagoon.
