| episode_narrative | A rapidly deepening low pressure center over the eastern Gulf of Mexico moved across west central Florida, tracking directly over Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Polk counties. The tight pressure gradient around the low center produced sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph, with gusts of 45 to 55 mph occurring near the coast around Tampa Bay for around two hours from 4 AM to 6 AM EST. Wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph were felt as far south as Fort Myers and as far north as Brooksville. The strongest wind gusts occurred at the Old Port Tampa station, measuring 71 mph, and at Longboat Pass where a spotter estimated gusts of 75 mph. There was also a report of 93 mph measured from the top deck of the Carnival cruise ship Miracle that was traveling through Tampa Bay between 4 AM and 5 AM. Some minor coastal flooding also occurred as winds became onshore, with a surge of 6.1 feet at Clearwater Beach, and around 4 feet occurring in the areas around Tampa Bay. The surge caused some minor beach erosion in Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties. Some wind damage was reported in Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties with this event.
