THE “F5” (FASCINATING FACTOID FOR FANATICAL FLORIDIANS) –
It’s the first week of June, 1966 and you’re loading up for a day fishing the reefs off Key West. Gray skies form and the breeze quickly turns to gusts. “It’s June in Florida,” you say to yourself. “What else is new?” You assume the storm will blow through as quickly as it formed.
But this one is different. Something isn’t right. Conditions continue to decline over the span of several hours. “It’s the first week of June?! What the %^&* is this?” you angrily snarl as you return to shore, feverishly tie up your boat and seek shelter.
You later would learn the storm which ruined your day (as well as that of many other Floridians) was given a name by the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane Alma was the first hurricane to strike the US in June since 1825.
