Floyd, anyone?

Yeah, I remember Floyd. 1999. It was headed STRAIGHT towards Ft. Lauderdale. It was on that path for days and at the last moment veered sharply north due to a high pressure front moving in to South Florida. Floyd was huge and powerful. It ended up flooding half of North Carolina.

Oh geez...remember the poor little town where all the coffins popped out of the ground and were floating around from Hurricane Floyd?

Trivia--There was another hurricane shortly prior to Hurricane Floyd in 1999--Hurricane Dennis. Dennis & Floyd had similar paths as they moved past Florida toward NC. Hurricane Dennis 1999 is the image in my Surf's Up Ping logo. The name Dennis was finally retired in 2005, the notorious year when five storm names were retired.
