In Cutler Bay, 24 inches of rain in the past 7 days, flooding continues

CUTLER BAY, Fla. – Another day of rain in communities already flooded in Cutler Bay and residents are struggling to deal with the water.

There has been at least 24 inches of rain in the area in the past seven days and counting.

Many roads have been under water for days.

“The more it rains the higher it gets,” one resident said.

Some drivers, not able to make it through the flooded streets, have chosen to pull over only to be left wondering how to make it to their destination.

Cutler Bay isn’t the only community facing these issues, but parts of Homestead are getting a deluge, too.

Near Southwest 284th Street and 136th Avenue, roads were flooded and one neighborhood park was completely submerged.

Residents said the water is receding, but it’s a slow process.

On Friday. there was another round of wet weather also causing concern in North Miami.

Slick roads may have caused a rollover crash on Biscayne Boulevard at 135th Street. Luckily, good Samaritans helped to rescue people inside.

Police said the driver and others involved only suffered minor injuries.

Authorities say when coming across roads like this, turn around and find an alternate route.
