HEAVY RAINS WERE STILL OCCURRING FROM 10 MILES WEST OF SWEETWATER
THROUGH KENDALL...SWEETWATER AND INTO VIRGINIA GARDENS.  THIS RAIN WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL 7 TO 8 AM WHICH WILL MEAN LITTLE CHANGE IN THE FLOODING
UNTIL THAT TIME.

REPORTED BETWEEN THE AIRPORT AND MIAMI BEACH.  SINCE THAT TIME RADAR HAS
INDICATED THAT MUCH OF EASTERN DADE COULD HAVE RECEIVED SIMILAR AMOUNTS
OF RAIN.

QUICKLY.  MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
