The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Int'l Airport closed Wednesday afternoon and announced it would remain closed until noon Thursday due to torrential rainfall and subsequent floods.
In a follow-up message, the Fort Lauderdale airport announced it would remain closed overnight until noon on Thursday, April 13.
"The airport’s roadways are still closed and impacted by flooding," FLL said in a statement. "While stalled vehicles are being removed from the upper/lower levels, the main exit artery remains flooded and congested with slow-moving traffic. We ask for your patience as we wait to safely assess the impacts of this unprecedented rainfall to restore airport operations when it is safe to do so."
