Tropical Storm Beryl caused flooding in several states in the Eastern United States in August 1994. The second named storm and third tropical cyclone of the annual hurricane season, Beryl developed from an upper-level low pressure area over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico on August 14. Initially a tropical depression, the system intensified into a tropical storm about 24 hours after forming. Beryl then moved slowly northeastward and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) before making landfall near Panama City, Florida, early on August 16. Within 12 hours of moving inland, the storm weakened to a tropical depression, but persisted as a tropical cyclone for a few days while traversing the Eastern United States. Beryl was absorbed by a frontal system while situated over Connecticut early on August 19. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 60 mph (50 knots), lowest pressure 999 mb. August 14 – August 19, 1994. Landfall: August 16 at 60 mph, 30.0°N 85.6°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 0.8. Wiki link Track: NOAA National Hurricane Center, HURDAT2 best track AL031994 (public domain).
