| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A tropical wave, turned tropical depression, moving westward across the western Caribbean Sea abruptly formed into an intense Category 4 hurricane before making landfall over western Nicaragua on November 3rd, with a minimum central pressure of 923 mb just before landfall, and a minimum central pressure of 940 mb at landfall. Eta then weakened into a Tropical Depression as it moved across Central America and before it re-entered the western Caribbean Sea. Eta maintained Tropical Depression status for a few days before restrengthening into a Tropical Storm on November 7th, just west of the Cayman Islands. Tropical Storm Eta continued moving northward while intensifying into a strong Tropical Storm just before making landfall over Cuba early morning on November 8th. Tropical Storm Eta then began to move northwestward and towards FL on November 8th, with the center passing about 70 to 80 miles southwest of Miami, Florida and about 100 to 110 miles southeast of Naples, Florida. Strong Tropical Storm Eta made landfall on Lower Matecumbe Key in the Florida Keys with maximum winds estimated to be near 65 mph and a minimum central pressure of 991 mb. ||As Tropical Storm Eta continues to move westward into the Gulf of Mexico, it maintained Tropical Storm intensity. The lowest surface pressure recorded over South Florida was 1001.3 mb at Homestead Air Reserve with maximum sustained winds of 61 mph over land at Cache, located in west/central Miami-Dade County, during the early morning hours on November 9th. Recorded Tropical Storm force wind gusts were measured across South Florida ranging from 45 to 70 mph. Tropical Storm Eta then meandered offshore southwest Florida the next couple of days before making landfall yet again near Cedar Key, Florida on November 12th.||Although the effects from Tropical Storm Eta were generally minor for wind and more significant for rainfall/flooding for South Florida, wind gusts of tropical storm force were measured across much of Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Collier counties. Rainfall flooding impacts were significant across South Florida, with around 4 to almost 21 inches across portions of Broward County, around 4 to almost 14 inches across portions of Miami-Dade County, and around 4 to almost 7 inches across portions of Collier and Palm Beach County. Almost 294,000 customers lost power during the event, most of them split between Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. A peak storm surge of 3.39 feet was observed at Naples Pier, 2.26 feet at Virginia Key, and 1.95 feet at Port Everglades. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A peak water level of 2.29 feet above mean higher high water was observed at Naples Pier at 11:06 AM EST on November 11th, with a peak surge of 3.39 feet above the predicted astronomical tide. Inundation was generally between 1-2 feet. Main impacts from storm surge was flooding along intracoastal waterways, with water overtopping sea walls and over docks along much of the Collier County coastline. |
