(ANSA) - NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 10 - The tropical storm Eta yesterday hit the most densely populated urban areas of South Florida with severe flooding. From the Keys to Fort Lauderdale, near Miami, so many cars have been submerged, activities flooded with water, entire neighborhoods flooded.
After hitting Nicaragua as a Category 4 hurricane and killing nearly 70 people from Mexico to Panama, the storm moved into the Gulf of Mexico yesterday near the point where the Everglades meet the sea, with gusts of wind at over 81km per hour. "It was a lot worse than we could ever have imagined, and we were prepared," explained Arbie Walker, a 27-year-old student, who found his apartment in Fort Lauderdale flooded with over 18cm of water, while his sister's car it was half submerged.
