  • Hydrologic Effects of the 2004 Hurricane Season in Northwest Florida Richard J
    USGS Science in Florida, May 3-5, 2005, Orlando Hydrologic Effects of the 2004 Hurricane Season in Northwest Florida Richard J. Verdi U.S. Geological Survey, Florida Integrated Science Center, Tallahassee, Florida During August and September 2004, northwest Florida experienced impacts from five tropical storm systems: Tropical Storm Bonnie, and Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne had a significant impact on the Suwannee and Waccasassa River Basins with heavy rainfall, storm surge, and flooding. Hurricane Ivan primarily affected the Perdido, Escambia, and Yellow River Basins in the western-most panhandle with high winds and the associated storm surge. Tropical Storm Bonnie produced abundant rainfall across the Suwannee Basin. Hurricane Charley’s landfall in south Florida and its northeastern storm track across central Florida did not noticeably affects northwest Florida. Significant rainfall from some of the storms resulted in high water on many rivers and streams in northwest Florida. Hurricane Frances produced an average of 8.80 inches of rain over the Suwannee River Basin, but 18 inches of rain was reported at some locations. Hurricane Jeanne produced about 6 inches, again primarily in the Suwannee and Waccasassa River Basins. Hurricane Ivan produced 3-11 inches in the Chipola, Choctawhatchee, Shoal, Blackwater, Perdido, Escambia, and Yellow River Basins in the western panhandle. Tropical Storm Bonnie produced an average of about 2-3 inches in the Suwannee River Basin. Rainfall from Hurricane Charley was negligible in northwest Florida. Hydrographs of data collected at several stream gages in the Big Bend region of Florida documented storm surges. Surge from Hurricane Frances was the greatest, with a 9-foot rise at the Waccasassa River near Gulf Hammock.

  • Wakulla County Is Located Just 20 Miles South of Tallahassee, Florida
    WAKULLA COUNTY Wakulla County is located just 20 miles south of Tallahassee, Florida. Population for the county is estimated at 30,000 and the county seat is Crawfordville. Wakulla County was created in 1843. It may (although this is disputed) be named for the Timucuan Indian word for "spring of water" or "mysterious water." This is in reference to Wakulla County's greatest natural attraction, Wakulla Springs, which is one of the world's largest freshwater springs, both in terms of depth and water flow. In 1974, the water flow was measured at 1.23 billion gallons per day—the greatest recorded flow ever for a single spring. Wakulla County stands out in one statistical category: there is a near-absence of any municipal population in this county of perhaps 30,000. Two tiny municipalities hold maybe 3 percent of the population. Fishing: The Wakulla, St. Marks and Ochlockonee Rivers are teaming with all types of freshwater fish and in the winter produce many saltwater species looking for warmer waters. Otter Lake and many other small refuge ponds and lakes dot the landscape of Wakulla County and can produce trophy-sized bass, bream and speckled perch. If saltwater fishing better suits your fancy then you better get ready to get you line stretched. The Wakulla County shoreline goes from the East bank of the Ochlockonee River to a point several miles East of the St. Marks River. Numerous creeks and tributaries flow off the bay and produce fantastic fishing in the fall and winter for trout, red fish and sheepshead and also provide some of the most spectacular scenery of anywhere in the state.
