Tropical Depression Brenda - June 17-21,
1968
A tropical depression formed over the Florida Straits on the 17th, due
to the interaction of an upper trough
with a lingering frontal boundary. It
drifted up the Florida peninsula for a couple days, with little change
in
intensity. After heading out into the Altantic, it strengthened
into a tropical
storm and then a hurricane,
moving over 200 nm north of Bermuda. Below
is the track of this cyclone,
