MIAMI -- Wednesday morning's heavy rains sent floodwater pouring into two Miami condo buildings, meaning some residents could have to spend Thanksgiving away from their homes.

Calixto De Los Rios was supposed to be cooking for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. Instead, rain outside leaked inside, ruining his plans.

"We were going to go to my sister's house, but now we have to clean up," said De Los Rios.

All 24 condo units in his building in the 3500 block of Southwest 10th Street were drenched by Wednesday's heavy rains.

"It just keeps coming. The walls are warping," De Los Rios said as he showed Local 10's Jonathan Vigliotti the damage.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said rain seeped through the building's roof, which was undergoing repairs at the time. The water damaged electrical wiring, officials said. The power was turned off and could stay off through the holiday. Fire officials encouraged residents to leave for fear the roof could sink in.

"We have tarps in case this doesn't get better, but worse," said John Hastings, who lives next door to De Los Rios.

Cleanup was also under way at a condo building in Palmetto Bay. A roof collapsed and led to the evacuation of four homes at in the 17200 block of Southwest 95th Street.

"I'm just trying to stay calm right now. You don't want to know what's in my head," said one resident.

Elsewhere in South Florida, flooded roads caused delays and dangerous driving conditions Wednesday. Puddles formed along Interstate 95 as water drains overflowed onto the roads. Fire Rescue officials cautioned residents that if you don't need to travel, stay in.

De Los Rios said he and other residents had no other option.

"We don't have insurance. I have to now try to get one of those vacuums that sucks the water out. I should just get sand and put it on the other side of the apartment," he said.

Rains Expected To Die Down

Meteorologists are watching a strong cold front that was pushing through the Mississippi River Valley early Wednesday. Local 10 meteorologist Scott Padgett said the cold front should move into South Florida by the weekend, bringing cooler weather behind it.

Wednesday's high is forecast to be 83, with mostly cloudy skies and storms likely. The cloudy, wet weather could continue into the evening, with a low of 72.

Thanksgiving Day will have high temperatures around 82 with a 40 percent chance of rain.

The rain chances plummet on Friday to 10 percent, with a 0 percent chance of rain on Saturday. Friday and Saturday's highs are much milder, as well, with the mercury forecast to climb only to about 71 degrees on Friday and 74 degrees on Saturday.
