Rain on high tides
The August 1, 2017 flood was about 6 inches of rain that fell over several hours (not nearly all within one hour), on a rising tide. It led to well over a foot of water across a broad area on the beach, as well as some in the Brickell area on the mainland. The tide, however, was not very high, coming in at just over 2 feet MLLW, or about 1 foot MSL, or 0 feet MHHW, compared to king tides that can hit 4 feet MLLW. In other words, it was only an average high tide. Pumps failed for a period due to power outage, and showed how big the reliance on them already is.

Properties near raised streets now considered 'basements' at least by insurance companies trying to avoid payouts.
