Tropical Storm Andrea brought flooding to Cuba, the Yucatan Peninsula, and portions of the East Coast of the United States in June 2013. The first tropical cyclone and named storm of the annual hurricane season, Andrea originated from an area of low pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on June 5. Despite strong wind shear and an abundance of dry air, the storm strengthened while initially heading north-northeastward. Later on June 5, it re-curved northeastward and approached the Big Bend region of Florida. Andrea intensified and peaked as a strong tropical storm with winds at 65 mph (105 km/h) on June 6. A few hours later, the storm weakened slightly and made landfall near Steinhatchee, Florida later that day. It began losing tropical characteristics while tracking across Florida and Georgia. Andrea transitioned into an extratropical cyclone over South Carolina on June 7, though the remnants continued to move along the East Coast of the United States, until being absorbed by another extratropical system offshore Maine on June 10. Andrea was the only tropical system to make landfall in the United States in 2013. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 65 mph (55 knots), lowest pressure 992 mb. June 5 – June 8, 2013. Landfall: June 6 at 60 mph, 29.5°N 83.4°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 1.6. Wiki link Track: NOAA National Hurricane Center, HURDAT2 best track AL012013 (public domain).
