Heavy Rain Causes Major Disruptions in Miami

A severe rainstorm across South Florida resulted in significant disruptions, including a partial patio ceiling collapse at the University of Miami's Mahoney Pearson dorms. No injuries were reported, and university officials are assessing the damage and determining the cause of the collapse. The storm, which brought up to 8 inches of rainfall, also caused flooding in various areas, including Miami Beach and several local streets, leading to stalled vehicles and submerged sidewalks. Miami International Airport faced numerous delays and cancellations due to the adverse weather. The Ultra Music Festival in Downtown Miami was briefly paused but resumed, with attendees embracing the rainy conditions. Despite the challenges, local infrastructure, such as Miami Beach's pump stations, worked effectively to manage the excess water.
