Halloween turned out to be a soggy affair, with Coral Springs Police issuing a flash flood warning from 2:30 p.m. through 4 p.m. on Saturday.

“There have been reports of flooding in residential areas near Royal Palm and Riverside as well as other areas within the city. We are encouraging residents, especially encountering floods in residential and commercial areas, to proceed with caution,” said police.

Low lying areas in Coral Springs that are flooded, include neighborhoods and businesses in Maplewood and Forest Hills, specifically NW 21st Street and NW 85th Way in the southeastern part of the city.

More thunderstorms are expected tomorrow.
