P. O. Box 134, Everglades City, FL, 34139 Tropical Storm ETA Brushes Coast Dumps 3+ Inches of Rain In this unprecedented hurricane season, it is only fitting that a few weeks after Halloween our area would get a good scare. Tropical Storm ETA, which was a strong as a category 4 prior to slamming into Nicaragua, gave hurricane modelers quite a headache as they were trying to zero in on where the storm would eventually track. The “spaghetti” models. which was a very fitting name in this case, had the storm cutting through Cuba heading north and then veering off west and then back towards the east leaving SW Florida guessing whether to shutter up or not. Fortunately, the re-strengthening never happened for us and its brush with the Everglades area was nothing more than a very windy week with quite a bit of rain. There was one palm down in the median on Copeland Avenue in Everglades City and lots of standing water. However, you will not find one single resident complaining about that! This 2020 hurricane season fired off one storm after another first in the Atlantic and later in the Gulf of Mexico. So many that we had to reach into the Greek Alphabet for more names after A to Z was exhausted. Fortunately for us, this year’s Gulf of Mexico storms steered towards somewhere between Texas and the panhandle of Florida. Unfortunately for Louisiana, they seemed to be the primary target this year with 4 landfalls impacting the area. As of this writing, computer models are projecting what’s left of ETA to head towards Louisiana again...maybe. Later season storms are nothing new. Hurricane Wilma hit our area on October 24th, 2005. The day after the storm passed, a cool front entered the area. The National Hurricane Center says the official hurricane season ends on November 30th. However, who would be surprised if one snuck up on us after that date sometime in December? It is 2020 after all!
