An unexpected turn of events unfolded in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, when torrential rains unleashed havoc, resulting in widespread flooding. Anamilet Rodríguez Díaz, a resident of the area, found herself in the midst of the chaos and managed to capture a comical moment on video.

On April 13, 2023, after nearly 26 inches of rain drenched the region, the streets of Fort Lauderdale transformed into waterways reminiscent of Venice. Undeterred by the flooding, resourceful locals took to various modes of transportation to navigate the submerged streets. Canoes, makeshift boats, and even swimming became the preferred means of getting around.

Amidst this aquatic spectacle, a particular moment caught Anamilet's attention as a boat casually passed by her house. Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly pulled out her camera and recorded the hilarious sight.

Reflecting on the unusual experience, Anamilet shared, "That boat passed in front of my house, and I couldn't resist filming it. The floods turned our neighborhood into an unexpected aquatic adventure."
