FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – After flash flooding devastated Fort Lauderdale in the spring, city officials decided to accelerate work on critical infrastructure aimed at mitigating the risk of such a disaster in the future. The Florida city's infrastructure currently handles 3 inches of rainfall within 24 hours. On April 12, however, 26 inches of rain fell in one day and caused flash flooding across the city. "It was like a nightmare," one Fort Lauderdale resident told FOX Weather multimedia journalist Brandy Campbell.
