Dear Residents of Lauderhill,
At this time it appears that Hurricane Ike will not be coming to our area. Between Monday and Wednesday, the storm should pass well to our south. However, hurricanes can change direction, and we must stay aware of the situation. We can expect to have wind and rain, and therefore outside loose items should be secure. Other than that, there have been no special orders, nor the canceling of any normal city services at this time. You may wish to consider not putting out recycling materials out this week, due to the debris that could fly in the wind. If anything should change, notice will be sent out.
The following is a statement which was recently sent out by Broward County, to provide more information.
Mayor Kaplan
Broward County Emergency Operations Center continues to closely monitor Hurricane Ike even though Broward County is not in the storm's projected track or cone of error. As of Sunday morning, September 7, Broward emergency officials do not expect sustained tropical force winds to impact Broward County.
Deteriorating weather conditions are expected to begin Monday afternoon with the outer rain bands of Hurricane Ike producing 20 -25 mph winds with gusts to 30 - 40 mph. Monday evening, it is expected that the rain bands will continue to spread over our area with winds slightly increasing. One to three inches of rain are expected through Wednesday morning with tornadoes possible within the outer rain bands.
The Broward County Emergency Operations Center does not plan to activate response teams at this time; however, officials will closely monitor Hurricane Ike and are prepared to quickly respond if there are any changes. All County government agencies plan to open tomorrow for normal business operations. There have been no evacuations (mandatory or voluntary) ordered in Broward County. The 3-1-1 hotline will be open on Monday, September 8 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to respond to questions from residents.
There have been no announcements to close schools on Monday. Broward County residents are asked to continue to closely monitor television and radio for information on Hurricane Ike. This is a very dangerous storm and the situation could change as the storm continues its track. All residents should be prepared and have their personal hurricane plan ready to implement.

Thanks for the Hurricane updates.
My question is non-weather related.
Does Lauderhill still have its free City WiFi network?
You're welcome on the notices. No Lauderhill no longer still has its free WiFi. As a test, the city turned it off awhile back. After 4 months we got our first comment as to where it went. Yours is the second comment, and it is about 2 years later. Obviously, it was a service that few were using, let alone needing, and it was expensive.
