Area near Florida and Bahamas acting badly, could become TD 16 - There is some talk this could organize and gain strenght, move across Florida, intensify in the Gulf of Mexico to another dangerous storm - maybe less than a 5% chance of that now, but consequences could be horrendous. from National Hurricane Center - A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAS REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY JUST OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST OF FLORIDA AND OVER THE NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS. WHILE THIS SYSTEM HAS NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED THIS AFTERNOON... CONDITIONS APPEAR SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM IN THIS AREA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. A NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM TOMORROW... IF NECESSARY. INTERESTS IN THE BAHAMAS AND FLORIDA SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM

RE:"Just turn the Tampa/St. Pete area 90 degrees counter clockwise, and the similarities are striking." And turn the whole state counter clockwise. Good comparisons. Drain quicker because its actually above sea level.

Florida hurricanes in the 20th century. pcsb.k12.fl.us Interestingly the 1928 lake okeechobee storm may have killed more than Katrina.

You have to wonder what would happen in a slow moving CAT 4 or 5 to low lying neighborhoods close to the coast down here that now flood and have a foot of standing water after a strong afternoon thunderstorm? Seems many older/poorer hoods have poor drainage, poor soil, inefficient or old sewer system, lack of drainage retention.
