Tracks of hurricanes over Florida from 1950 to 1974
The list of Florida storms from 1950 to 1974 encompasses 85 Atlantic tropical or subtropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, tropical cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in about $7.04 billion (2017 USD) in damage, primarily from Hurricanes Donna and Dora. Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were directly responsible for 93 fatalities during the period, as well as responsible for 23 indirect deaths. Several tropical cyclones produced over 20 inches (500 mm) of rainfall in the state, including Hurricane Easy which is the highest total during the time period. The 1969 season was the year with the most tropical cyclones affecting the state, with a total of 8 systems. The 1954 and 1967 seasons were the only years during the time period in which a storm did not affect the state.
The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Donna in 1960, which was the 8th strongest hurricane on record to strike the United States.[1] Additionally, Hurricanes Easy, King, Isbell, and Betsy hit the state as major hurricanes.
1950–1959
Hurricane Easy rainfall
August 31, 1950– Hurricane Baker strikes near Mobile, Alabama, with the eastern half of its circulation producing moderate damage from strong winds and two tornadoes across the Florida Panhandle. Heavy rainfall and winds also led to some crop damage.[2]
September 5, 1950– Hurricane Easy moves ashore near Cedar Key and later near Tampa Bay as a major hurricane after looping offshore. The hurricane causes locally heavy damage in a sparsely populated area, totaling $3.3 million (1950 USD, $29.5 million 2008 USD). Due to its erratic motion,[2] Easy drops heavy rainfall peaking at 38.7 inches (983 mm) in Yankeetown,[3] which in turn causes 2 indirect deaths from electrocution.[2]
October 18, 1950– Hurricane King makes landfall on Miami as a major hurricane. Its hurricane-force winds blows out the windows of many buildings in downtown Miami, resulting in several injuries. Across the state, the storm causes 3 deaths and heavy damage totaling $27.8 million (1950 USD, $249 million 2008 USD), of which over half occurred in the Miami area.[2]
October 21, 1950– The threat of Hurricane Love results in hurricane evacuations along the western coastline,[4] though dry air in the storm leads to very little effects after it hits near the mouth of the Steinhatchee River.[5]
May 18, 1951– The outer rainbands of Hurricane Able produce light rainfall and high seas along the eastern coastline.[6]
October 2, 1951– Hurricane How hits Fort Myers, and produces flooding rains and winds of up to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). The storm results in $2 million in damage (1951 USD, $17 million 2008 USD), which is the only reported damage in the United States during the year.[7]

August 30, 1952– Hurricane Able recurves about 130 miles (210 km) east of the state, with the western portion of its circulation dropping 1.69 inches (43 mm) of precipitation in Jacksonville.[9]
June 6, 1953– Tropical Storm Alice dissipates shortly after moving ashore near Panama City, Florida, producing rainfall which breaks a dry spell in the state.[10]

Early October, 1953 – An unnamed tropical storm drops light rainfall across the state.[14]
October 9, 1953– Tropical Storm Hazel strikes Fort Myers, and produces gusty winds and additional rainfall to previously wet conditions. The passage of the storm causes flooding of low-lying areas and some rivers, with the upper region of the St. Johns River experiencing record-setting flooding.[10]
July 6, 1956– A tropical depression moves ashore near Pensacola, resulting in light damage and moderate precipitation.[16]
September 24, 1956– Hurricane Flossy hits near Destin as a minimal hurricane, resulting in gusty winds and high tides reaching 7.4 feet (2.3 m). The storm causes light damage[16] and 4 indirect deaths in near Tallahassee from an airplane crash during an evacuation.[17]
October 15, 1956– A quasi-tropical storm makes landfall near Miami and drops moderate to heavy rainfall. The storm causes $3 million in damage (1956 USD, $24 million 2008 USD) and 2 deaths from drowning.[16]
November 1956– Rough surf from Hurricane Greta causes about $1.1 million in damage (1956 USD, $8.7 million 2008 USD) along the eastern coastline, primarily near Jacksonville.[16]
June 8, 1957– The first storm of the season hits near Tallahassee, dropping heavy rainfall of over 19 inches (480 mm) in Suwannee County which forces hundreds of families to evacuate. Offshore, rough waves capsize a boat and kill 5, with minimal onshore damage.[18]
September 4, 1958– Tropical Storm Ella emerges into the Gulf of Mexico after crossing Cuba, with its outer rainbands producing gale-force wind gusts in the Florida Keys. The winds uproots a few trees, though damage is minor.[19]

It leaves a path of destruction across the entire peninsula, including destroying 30% of the state's grapefruit crop and leveling over half of the mangrove trees in the Everglades.[21] The passage of the hurricane results in 2,156 destroyed homes, 3,903 severely damaged houses, and 281 boats destroyed or left with major damage.[22] Throughout the state, Donna causes over $300 million in damage (1960 USD, $2.19 billion 2008 USD) and 13 direct deaths.[21]
September 15, 1960– Tropical Storm Ethel strikes Mississippi after rapidly weakening from a strong hurricane, and causes light winds and rainfall across western Florida. Damage totals about $250,000 (1960 USD, $1.8 million 2008 USD), primarily from crop damage.[23]
September 23, 1960– Tropical Depression Florence strikes near Chokoloskee, and after turning westward near Vero Beach emerges into the Gulf of Mexico before making a final landfall near Pensacola. The storm drops moderate amounts of rainfall, causing localized but minor amounts of damage.[21]
September 11, 1961– Hurricane Carla strikes Texas, with its outer rainbands dropping light amounts of precipitation across Florida.[24]
October 29, 1961 – The interaction between Hurricane Hattie and a ridge to its north produced squally winds of around 30 mph (50 km/h) across Florida.[25]

June 6, 1964– A tropical depression hits near Yankeetown and exits near Jacksonville. The depression produces thunderstorm activity and hail storms across the northern portion of the state, causing about $1 million in damage (1964 USD, $7 million 2008 USD).[28]
August 27, 1964– Hurricane Cleo strikes near Miami with winds of about 105 mph (170 km/h), the first hurricane to hit the area in 14 years. Strong winds from the hurricane down many trees and power lines, with moderate to heavy building and crop damage reported near the coast. Rainfall reaches 6.8 inches (173 mm) in Miami, with storm tides peaking at 5.5 feet (1.7 m) in Pompano Beach. Damage in the state amounts to $125 million (1964 USD, $870 million 2008 USD); no deaths are reported in the state.[28]
September 10, 1964– Hurricane Dora makes landfall as a weakening Category 2 hurricane near Jacksonville, the first hurricane in an extended period of time to strike the area. Dora produces moderate to heavy amounts of precipitation which peaks at 23.73 inches (603 mm) in Mayo, causing flooding damage and killing one from drowning. Wind gusts peak at 125 mph (200 km/h) near St. Augustine, causing massive utility failures and heavy damage to buildings. Two Navy personnel die when their evacuating plane crashed upon takeoff.

The rainfall provided relief to a water shortage in the Everglades, while strong waves and high tides causes considerable flooding in coastal and low-lying areas in the southeastern portion of the state. The passage of Betsy results in 4 deaths and $139.3 million in damage (1965 USD, $953 million 2008 USD) in the state.[32] Betsy would enter the Gulf of Mexico and cause much greater devastation in southeastern Louisiana, where the storm caused 76 deaths and over $1 billion in damage.

September 21, 1969– A tropical depression moves ashore along the western Florida Panhandle, before stalling. It becomes the wettest known tropical cyclone for the eastern Florida panhandle, when 23.40 inches (594 mm) falls at Havana.[40]
October 2, 1969– Tropical Storm Jenny makes landfall near Fort Myers, crosses the state, and approaches the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Canaveral before turning to the west-southwest and exiting into the Gulf of Mexico near Tampa. The storm produces heavy rainfall of 5–8 inches (127–203 mm) across the central region of the state.[38]
October 21, 1969– Hurricane Laurie attains a peak strength of 105 mph (170 km/h) while moving eastward in the Gulf of Mexico. Its threat prompts officials to issue a gale warning from the Florida Keys to Fort Myers, though Laurie turns to the southwest and does not impact the state.[38]
