The Ground Hog Day 1998 Severe Weather in South Florida and the Keys
The table below contains Doppler radar images of some of the severe storms and tornadoes which slashed across the Keys and south Florida on the late afternoon and evening of February2, 1998. The images were retrieved and annotated by Miami forecasters Guy Rader, Dan Brown, and Wayne Colin. Many of these images are relatively large in size and downloading them may take a long time (depending on the speed of your internet connection, time of day, and possibly other factors). They have been deliberately displayed at full size to provide the most realistic effect. |
