Right. They didn't landed in FLL. Why the pilot is supposed to landed in FLL instead of going to PBI, MCO, MLB, DAB. I knows exactly what they are doing. This not right things to do. He divert the flight to JAX. Because they are running out of fuel. Almost too impossible to landed in FLL due to bad weather. Runway isn't too wet at all.

Let me clarify this. Because airports did not shutdown until the further notice. I wasn't aware of the weather condition but, isn't too bad at all. Just a short rains and doesn't have any much longer. They should be respected to followed the specific rules.
