Andrea- First Tropical depression 2007, Jacksonville , FL

http://www.hdworldmedia.com, From Wikipedia- Tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa on June 12. The wave moved uneventfully across the Atlantic until late on June 16, when the wave became better organized. Convection increased and the wave became Tropical Depression One just after entering the Carribean Sea on June 17. A lack of wind shear helped the depression to grow, becoming Tropical Storm Andrea on the 19th. Andrea continued to strengthen, becoming a Category 1 hurricane on the 20th and reaching major hurricane status the next day. Forecasts called for Andrea to weaken before making landfall in Alabama, but Andrea's forward speed suddenly increased from 9 mph to 20 mph, causing it to reach Alabama before weakening. It made landfall on June 23 with winds of 120 mph, dissipating the next day.
Andrea's increase in forward speed caught those on the Gulf Coast by surprise. Flooding from Andrea caused $450 million in damages and killed 25 people. Andrea hits Coast in Jacksonville Beach, FL - http://www.hdworldmedia.com
