This storm came up suddenly smashed a lot of homes on the coast, killed a couple of people, came inland and really raiswed havoc. When it reached the Gainesville area it caught everyone flatfooted and every emergency agency in the metro area and outlying towns was committed. It took days to clean up. > >The Gainesville, Alachua County and Putnam County Fire Fighters nicknamed it "The Storm of the Century". Other areas called it the "No Name" and "Killer" storm. It was a bad one. >Hope this helps. >Barney > >>Reply to Antoinette Re: March storm >>That was in March, 1993 >>The reason I know this is my twin grandson's were due to be born that weekend, >>but thankfully they held out til after the storm passed.
