The rain kept falling and the water kept rising, causing confusion on the roads in North Miami Beach. Many cars were towed away after stalling out.
The water went down significantly throughout the day, however the damage was already done. There were several drivers stranded and stuck with nowhere to go.
Gladys Adriancen was heading home from work and got caught up in the flood waters in North Miami Beach.
“I got stuck with this car, if that car would move I would move too,” Adriancen said. “I feel so bad, so terrible, this has never happened to me in my life.”
Adriancen said water got inside her car. She waited hours for a tow truck on Northeast 163rd Street near 22nd Avenue.
“The machine is working but I'm afraid to drive the car,” Adriancen said.
Right up the street, Miriam Romero had a similar story. She tried to drive through the water but her car stopped. She found a dry parking lot and waited hours for a rescue.
"I tried to go but no," Romero said.
