Making naming history: First-ever Tropical Storm Eta forms
PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – The tropical disturbance in the central Caribbean Sea became Tropical Storm Eta on Saturday. The 28th named storm of the year makes history as this is the first time Eta has been used to name a storm. Eta is expected to become a hurricane early next week as it approaches the coast of Central America later Monday and Monday night. But if the high were to weaken, or move out earlier than forecast, the storm may lose its push and stall. Tropical Storm Zeta in 2005 formed on December 30 on the other side of the Atlantic.

Remembering “The Great Miami Tornado”
Miami, FL – If you were in South Florida on May 12, 1997, then you certainly remember this one. Usually by May, we in South Florida are thinking toward hurricane season and the perils it can bring. At around 2 p.m., an unusually strong tornado dropped just north of Coconut Grove, right over Silver Bluff Estates. It then crossed I-95, trekked into Downtown Miami, and entered Biscayne Bay. This tornado was strong by South Florida standards.
