Tropical Depression Ten was a short-lived tropical cyclone that made landfall on the Florida Panhandle in September 2007. The system developed as a subtropical depression on September 21 in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico from the interaction of a tropical wave, the tail end of a cold front, and an upper-level low. The threat of the depression prompted state of emergency declarations in Mississippi and Louisiana.
About Tropical Depression Ten (2007) in brief
Tropical Depression Ten was a short-lived tropical cyclone that made landfall on the Florida Panhandle in September 2007. The system developed as a subtropical depression on September 21 in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico from the interaction of a tropical wave, the tail end of a cold front, and an upper-level low. Initially containing a poorly defined circulation and intermittent thunderstorm activity, the system transitioned into a tropical depression after convection increased over the center. Tracking northwestward, the depression moved ashore near Fort Walton Beach early on September 22 and dissipated over southeastern Alabama shortly thereafter. The threat of the depression prompted state of emergency declarations in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Overall impact from the cyclone was minor and largely limited to light rainfall. However, the precursor system spawned a damaging tornado in Eustis, Florida, where 20 houses were destroyed and 30 more were damaged. Damage totaled USD 6. 2 million. Tornadoes were also reported near Marianna and Chipley. The precursor low pressure system also generated lightning that struck and killed a man in Hendry County, Florida about 12 hours prior to the formation of the tropical depression. It was the first tropicalcyclone to threaten the New Orleans area since Hurricane Katrina and the destructive 2005 hurricane season.
