#Startbuildingtheark : Heavy Rain Leaves Parts Of South Florida Under Water

More than five inches of rain combined with rising tide left parts of South Florida under water this Tuesday evening, as the region dealt with the last remains of tropical depression Emily. 

 

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood for the region until 5:15 pm, alerting of possible problems on roads and poorly drained areas due to rain accumulation. A little after 4 pm, the Miami Police Department alerted on Twitter about flooding and dangerous conditions on the roads.

Here are some of the photos, videos, and comments that social media users in South Florida were sharing on Tuesday afternoon.
