A tropical disturbance has swamped South Florida with torrential downpours, flooding city streets and highways and sparking life-threatening conditions for millions of residents. The governor has declared an emergency over flooding concerns. 

The National Hurricane Center has reported that an unorganized tropical system is sweeping across Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic. This storm coincided with the beginning of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season. 

"Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is forecast to continue across portions of the Florida peninsula during the next few days," NHC wrote on its website Wednesday. 

The National Weather Service says rainfall observations indicate Wednesday was the wettest June day on record, with 8.5 inches falling as of late evening. "Another 3-5 inches is expected overnight," the city of Fort Lauderdale said on X.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency across Broward, Collier, Lee, Miami-Dade, and Sarasota counties in response to the widespread flooding late Wednesday. The mayors of Miami and Fort Lauderdale have also taken the necessary step of declaring emergencies in their respective cities.

Can the climate change cult in academia, think tanks, and corporate media explain this one? 

But-but-but.
