The 1998 Hurricane Georges tornado outbreak was a six-day tornado outbreak associated with the passage of Hurricane Georges in the Southeast United States. Most of the tornadoes produced by the storm formed in the outer bands of the storm and were relatively weak; however, one F2 tornado touched down in Florida. The outbreak produced 47 tornadoes—20 in Alabama, 17 in Florida and 10 in Georgia—and was the most extensive tornado event in Florida history, with touchdowns reported the entire length of the state.[1]
Meteorological synopsis
[edit]On September 22, as Hurricane Georges was still over Hispaniola, the National Hurricane Center warned that there was the possibility of isolated tornadoes in the outer bands of the storm.[2] The first tornado, rated F0 touched down in Miami-Dade County around 8:08 am EDT on September 24. A second F0 touched down roughly an hour later in the county. The first tornado watch associated with the hurricane was issued at 6:00 am EDT on September 25 for south-central Florida and remained in effect for 24 hours.[1] Over the following three days, a tornado watch was constantly in effect for some part of Florida as Georges slowly moved parallel to the state.[3] During the afternoon of September 25, a new watch was issued to encompass Sarasota and Manatee counties.[4] By September 26, nearly every county south Marion County had been placed under a tornado watch.[5]
As Georges was not forecast to impact the coastline of Georgia, the National Hurricane Center did not issue any tropical storm watches or warnings; however after weakening to a tropical storm, the system tracked through the state,[6] prompting the National Weather Service to issue tornado watches and tornado Warnings for parts of the region.[7] Due to the slow motion of the storm, the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC) issued flash flood watches for central and southwestern portions of the state on September 29. The first tornado watch in the state associated with Georges was issued for the same areas.[8] The next day, the flash flood watch was expanded to include all areas of the state except the northwest region.[9]
