On September 3, 1979 ...
Hurricane David made landfall about 20 miles south of Melbourne with 90 mph winds. It was the first hurricane to strike the Cape Canaveral area since the hurricane of 1926. Tides were 3 to 5 feet above normal near the eye track and l to 2 feet above normal elsewhere on the Florida east coast. Light to moderate beach erosion occurred along most of the coast. Severe erosion was reported in Brevard and southern Volusia Counties. Agricultural losses exceeded 25 million dollars. The principal citrus damage was near the coastline, from Jupiter in Martin County to Oak Hill in Volusia County. Nursery plants sustained considerable damage in the storm track. Storm rainfall was quite variable with totals mostly between 6 and 9 inches near the track of the eye, with a few reports of up to ll inches. Elsewhere, rainfall was less than 5 inches. No deaths were reported in Florida. Nine tornadoes were reported along the coast doing mostly minor damage and causing no serious injuries. The strongest of David's tornadoes destroyed or damaged about 50 trailers in Melbourne Beach, severely damaged a condominium and a shopping center on the afternoon of the 3rd.
