FORT LAUDERDALE -- Three days after the city was left reeling after receiving over 20 inches of rain in a few hours, Fort Lauderdale officials said Saturday that the city is slowly trying to recover.

"We're doing our best," Mayor Dean Trantalis said during a press conference at Holiday Park while joined with other officials. "Please be patient. The city has deployed over three dozen pump trucks to alleviate flooding in neighborhoods."

The precipitation began Monday in Broward County before the heaviest rains arrived Wednesday afternoon.
