Four years ago Hurricane Floyd was heading DIRECTLY at Fort Lauderdale. That hurricane was massive. The weather folks kept saying that a high pressure system would cause Floyd to veer north but it didn't happen...until the last minute. Talk about the cavalry coming to the rescue. Just hours before Floyd would have hit Fort Lauderdale, the high pressure system coming in from the west cause Floyd to veer north. We experienced about 50 to 60 mile mph winds here but nothing compared to what would have happened if we weren't saved by that high pressure system that moved in at the last minute.

Four years ago Hurricane Floyd was heading DIRECTLY at Fort Lauderdale.That was the same year as Dennis--a HUGE storm that also snuggled up the FL coast before slapping at NC. Here's an impressive shot of Dennis I've kept around.
