Faw a weak tropical storm; it was a strong tropical storm with sustained winds of 70 mph; just shy of hurricane strength. A 70 mph wind is perfectly sufficient to cause damage. Even then, intensity is not the only factor. A tropical storm of any strength will produce heavy rain, which can cause flooding.

In August 2008 Tropical Storm Fay, but that storm fell short of becoming a hurricane.

It isnt a tropical storm anymore, it is officially a hurricane. But no, it is way past Miami and Florida. It is near New Orleans. You might get some rain, but the Hurricane is past you.
