BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) While we think it is unlikely that you’ll pass Noah on Glades Road this morning (possibly someone named “Noah” in a Lexus, but not *the* “Noah” in an ark), it was quite a night throughout Boca Raton and south Palm Beach county. Heavy rain, lightning and thunder continued through the early morning hours.
There is now a flood warning in effect through mid morning:
