Biographical/Historical:     The "Storm of the Century" was a massive and deadly storm that formed on March 12, 1993 in the Gulf of Mexico and moved through the eastern United States and parts of Canada before dissipating in the Atlantic Ocean on March 15, 1993. At its height, the storm reached from Canada to Central America. In Florida, the storm created hurricane-force winds, tornadoes and storm surge. The storm devastated the Gulf coastal community of Dekle Beach in Taylor County, with storm surge over 11 feet and several deaths.
