Pulled off a local news website:
ON THIS DATE IN 1972: Hurricane Agnes moves ashore in the Florida panhandle. The highest wind reported was a gust to just 56 mph at Apalachicola, Florida. Agnes' main damage would come two days later as the remnants of the storm brought tremendous rains and flooding to parts of the Northeast. Hurricane Agnes' five-day romp through the Atlantic seaboard 25 years ago made the storm the costliest natural disaster in the United States at that time. Damage was estimated at $3.5 billion and 122 deaths were reported from Florida to New York. Agnes would produce more damage than all tropical cyclones in the previous six years, including Camille.
