Tropical Storm Andrea brought heavy rain, storm surge flooding, tornadoes and high winds to the eastern Gulf Coast and East Coast.
Andrea made landfall at 5:40 p.m. on June 6, 2013 about 10 miles south of Steinhatchee, Fla. in Dixie County. Andrea was the seventh tropical storm to pass within 50 miles of Steinhatchee, Fla. in the past 14 years, according to the National Weather Service forecast office in Tallahassee. The last hurricane to do so was Hurricane Dora in 1964.
Andrea then zipped up the East Coast on June 7 and June 8, bringing a swath of heavy rain from North Carolina to Maine. A trailing band of torrential rain on June 7 parked over parts of the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale metro area, bringing heavy flooding in some areas.
