The article says 1-in-1000-year rainfall in South Florida. Flooding of similar magnitude is more common due to storm surge (wind blowing the ocean ashore). The title should be corrected to reflect the difference. More than a foot of rain fell in a day. For a sense of scale, that's more than half of the mean rainfall that San Francisco gets in a year.
