South Florida was drenched by tropical weather Saturday, after the storm also dumped heavy rain on Cuba.

Cars were stranded in floodwaters and people had to be rescued by high water vehicles in Miami, while at least two people were killed in Cuba's capital, Havana.

Tropical storm warnings were issued early Friday for all of South Florida, parts of Cuba and the Bahamas as the system moved through the Gulf of Mexico. The storm began as Hurricane Agatha in the Pacific and battered Mexico's Oaxaca state earlier this week. The storm was named Tropical Storm Alex on Sunday morning, becoming the first named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season.
