Storm warnings were up from Brunswick, to Atlantic City, N.J. Squalls over the water contain gale winds. Tides three feet above normal were predicted for the area under the strong winds and the Miami Weather Bureau warned that flooding may occur.

Heavy rains were falling on the coastal areas ahead and to the west of the center. The storm, which has not been named, originated near Cuba on Sunday but it is not a tropical storm, weathermen said. It is similar to the great storms that form in the North Atlantic in winter. The Florida towns of Fellsmere, Kissimmee, St. Cloud and Taft were flooded yesterday as the storm passed by.

Rain totaling 15 inches was recorded at Fellsmere. Water accumulated to 30 inches deep in the streets. Roads were blocked temporarily and telephone lines were down. Flood waters drove about 200 residents from their homes at Kissimmee. They left behind their cars, clothes and furniture as a creek beside the town rose too rapidly for them to save more.

A tunnel was cut through a railroad embankment to let the water drain away. No lives were lost in the Kissimmee evacuation. Damage estimates ran as high as two million dollars. The two dead were drowning victims, one at Daytona Beach in the heavy surf and the other on a lake near Cocoa when a squall upset a boat.
