People Canoed On Florida Streets To Get Through Flash Floods & Cars Were Ruined (VIDEOS)

South Florida has seen extreme flooding from the constant downpour of rain that's accumulated over the past couple of days.

On April 12, the Fort Lauderdale streets were at their worst, and people were canoeing just to get across. Furthermore, cars were completely underwater, stalled and ruined.

A local woman, Felicia Nemens, who witnessed people on water vessels, paddling across the roadways of Las Olas, told Narcity how terrifying the storm was.

"It was really scary, so many cars ruined. I had to have seen 40 cars stalled out," she said.

In some areas, cars were completely submerged.

One person recorded the inside of his car and the floods brought the rainwater so high, you can see different items floating around his steering wheel.

He moved the camera around to the rear of his vehicle and you could see the water was as high as the middle of his trunk.

According to NPR, the city saw over 20 inches of rain and it caused Broward County Public Schools to shut down in the area.

Even the Fort Lauderdale airport had to shut down operations since the runways were completely underwater, leaving people stranded there for hours on end.

One video showed a crowded terminal full of passengers waiting 13 hours, according to the clip's caption.

The airport tweeted a travel advisory that it would remain closed until noon on April 13. Stalled vehicles were being removed from the upper and lower levels.

At around 2 am they informed the public that roadways had re-opened and traffic to exit the airport was nearly cleared.

It is expected to rain in the Fort Lauderdale area today, as well. Some areas have already seen some wet conditions.
