March 12th: on this date back in 1993, the “Storm of the Century” roared across the Gulf of Mexico and Florida before moving over the eastern United States during the day of the 13th.
An intense squall line with winds of 70-100 mph swept across Florida during the late night and pre-dawn hours of March 12/13, causing widespread wind damage to trees and mobile homes across South Florida. One death in South Miami-Dade County was attributed to this storm, and damage was estimated at just over $1 million in South Florida alone.
A total of 47 people died from the storm in Florida, most from a deadly storm surge of up to 12 feet along the Gulf Coast Big Bend of North Florida. This was the same storm that resulted in a historic blizzard for the Applachians of the SE United States, with record cold temperatures across most of Florida in the days that followed.
