On March 15, 1960 ...
Generally more than 10 inches of rain fell on a large section of central Florida from March 15-18 and the area of Pasco, Hernando, most of Sumter and the northern portion of Hillsborough counties received close to 15 inches of rain. Many points reported hail, high wind and tornadoes at some point during the period. Resulting high water and river overflow wreaked havoc on roads, bridges and agricultural crops. River overflow and/or accumulated waters in poorly drained areas forced many residents from their homes in several effected counties. Total storm damage, including that of hail, wind, tornadoes, flood, and other causes was estimated near $20 million, half of which was sustained by agriculture.
