MIAMI, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Weather forecasters warned Miami-area residents to beware of flooded intersections and overflowing canals Monday as rains soak ed South Florida.
A flash-flood warning was in effect late Monday for much of Miami-Dade County as another line of showers moved across the state.
"For the evening trick or treating, it could be a little wet for the most part," Bob Ebaugh of the National Weather Service told the Miami Herald. "As the evening progresses, it will be drying off."
Any respite was welcome. Double-digit rainfall totals during the weekend left behind plenty standing water. Tow trucks were busy pulling vehicles out of flooded streets and several cities broke out pumps to prevent water from getting into homes and businesses.
The Herald said some small boats sank while tied to docks after they filled up with rain water.
