left planes and travelers stranded, as residents in the city's hardest hit neighborhoods began the slow process of cleaning up the mess left behind.
In Fort Lauderdale's Edgewood neighborhood on Friday morning, the water level had receded about a foot from Thursday but was still up to 2 feet deep in some spots as residents tried to clean up. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths. "For context, within a six-hour period, the amount that fell is about a 1 in 1,000 chance of happening within a given year," Bhatti said."So it's a very historical type of event."
