9.55 inches of rain fell in two days, the most for this week of the year since records began in 1912. The next wettest, 9.44 inches, fell in 2023.
Broadview Park’s center stands about 20 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 30 ft, a difference of 30 ft: nearly flat ground.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Miami Limestone (limestone, sandstone), from the Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Limestone, sandstone. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 17 mi of the line.
Sand, limestone. Age: Late Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 3.6 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Broadview Park reaches the Atlantic Ocean by way of the North Fork New, the Tarpon and the New River: about 7 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Broadview Park; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Broadview Park has a tropical rainforest climate. Summer afternoons average 90° in July; winter nights fall to about 61° in January. About 61 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Broadview Park normally reaches 81° and falls to 68°. The record high is 87°, in 1951; the record low 43°, in 1968. The most rain on this date, 2.75 in, fell in 2023.
