April 13, 2023
Florida's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport was forced to close as historic rainfalls hit the area. More than two feet of rain fell in 24 hours. Outside the airport, hundreds of cars were stuck for blocks on end. Lawyer Thomas Sternberg's flight from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale was canceled due to the extreme weather. To get home, he rented a car with strangers to make a treacherous six-hour drive.
