A storm surge warning was in effect for the Florida Keys from Ocean Reef to the Dry Tortugas, including Florida Bay, while a storm surge watch was in effect for the Florida coast from Bonita Beach to Card Sound Bridge.
In Lauderhill, rescue crews transported one person to Broward Health after the subject drove their vehicle into a canal. Authorities say the person is in critical condition.
Fire-rescue says the car hit the water and drifted 50 yards before sinking. Divers from Plantation fire-rescue searched the canal, fearing that another victim might be in the water, but nothing was found.
Officials with the South Florida Water management District said they had lowered canals, staffed pump stations and control rooms to manage water, adjusted flood protection gates and pumps, prepared to use projects and infrastructure to store excess stormwater and closed navigation locks for public safety.

City of Miami officials said portable pumps have been deployed in several locations throughout the city, and crews have been working to eliminate any obstructions in the city's stormwater drainage systems.
