Associated Press
MIAMI —
Thousands of people remained without power and hundreds of stalled vehicles sat on still-flooded roadways Thursday as South Florida began drying out after a two-day storm dumped more than 18 inches of rain.
Most schools were open, but 15 stayed shut with flooded grounds or no power. Miami-Dade County officials reported more than 93,000 homes damaged. Two people were killed by the storm. The state of emergency imposed by Gov. Jeb Bush remained in effect.
