A tornado outbreak is not something Central Florida residents see very often, which is why most remember the ones that tore through the area in the winter of 1998. Osceola, Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties saw F2 and F3 tornadoes that lead to a few dozen fatalities across the area in February of that year. One of those fatalities was recorded in Volusia County near DeLand. Part of the reason for that event was an unusually strong El Niño, putting Florida on the path of severe weather patterns that typically dodge the Sunshine State. With another strong El Niño forecast for this winter, is there a chance that Central Florida, including Volusia and Flagler counties, will see a similar event? 1998 tornadoes: Though uncommon, some Florida tornadoes have proven deadly. Here are a few. Here’s what meteorologists are saying. What is a strong El Niño and how does it change Florida’s winter weather? Florida’s dry season, which runs between November and April, results when the subtropical jet stream typically moves above the Sunshine State as it moves from west to east. “The jet stream is a fast-moving channel of air further aloft in the atmosphere, and that jet stream increases

When scanning headlines that include verbiage like, “One-in-a-1,000-year rain event” — “historic flooding” — “colossal rains” — “Biblical,” one might be skeptical about the overhyping of a rain storm. However, in the case of the flood event that hit Central Florida Nov. 1-3, simple words don’t do it justice. And even as I write tis post, flood concerns persist along the already swollen St. Johns River as it flows north. Along with stunned residents and local businesses, farming operations are left to dry out and clean up after the deluge.

Water levels along Lake Monroe in Sanford may be the lowest residents see for weeks as floodwaters move north from Brevard County into Seminole County along the St. Johns River, emergency officials said. Seminole County Emergency Management officials said the area is bracing for a slow, prolonged flooding event tied to last week’s major storm in Brevard County. Because the St. Johns River flows north, rising water is expected to push into Seminole County and nearby tributaries over an extended period. Lake Monroe could crest at more than 6 feet, and Lake Harney could crest at more than 10 feet in the next few weeks.
