Flooding rains lash South Florida

Heavy rains leave several roads in South Florida underwater.

It’s part of a system that’s bringing rain, winds, and dangerous surf to most of the state.

People in Miami and up the coast have been seeing torrential downpours over the past two days. That’s led to widespread flooding and stalled cars.

With the bad conditions, classes have been cancelled today in Broward County.

South Florida could see up to 10 inches of rain by the end of the day.

Chick-fil-A store launches drone delivery pilot program

Chicken sandwich drone delivery has arrived in the Tampa Bay area.

According to a post on Facebook, Chick-fil-A is now offering free delivery via drones for customers near its store in Brandon.

The franchise announced the service is available for a limited time, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Chick-fil-A didn’t say how far away the drone can deliver those delicious nugget and waffle fries, but ordering is as easy as selecting “Chick-fil-A Delivery” on the app.

A video posted to the store’s social media pages shows the meal being carefully placed into a white box padded with paper packaging, flown to the customer and carefully lowered down to the ground.

Brandon is just one of a small number of cities where the company is testing out the technology.
