Fort Lauderdale Breaks 101 Year Old Rain Record

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) -- Fort Lauderdale was drenched in a record 4.71 inches of rain Thursday.

According to the Sun-Sentinel, this broke a previous record for November 21  of 2.88 inches which was set back in 1912.

While Miami saw 1.01 inches of rain Thursday, far from a record, the city also broke a rain record in 1912 with 7.28 inches of rain.

According to CBS4 Chief Meteorologist David Bernard, the rain was a result of a stalled cold front combined with an unusual high amount of moisture for November.
