AVENTURA (CBSMiami) - From Miami-Dade to Broward, heavy rains made Friday night a soggy mess—and the City of Aventura was no exception.
The flooding rains, between the hours of 3 PM and 3 AM, caused major traffic congestion in the city and resulted in approximately 150 vehicles being towed from roadways.
The extensive flooding caused several vehicles disabled in several parking lots and medians, according to the city's press release.
Aventura Police Department worked through the evening to clear the roadways of vehicles stranded from the flooding.
