Tropical Depression One, formed on June 25, 1992, was a tropical depression that produced 100-year floods in portions of southwestern Florida. As the first tropical depression and second tropical cyclone of the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season, it developed from a tropical wave. Located in an environment of strong wind shear, much of the convection in the system was located well to the southeast of the poorly defined center of circulation. The depression moved northeastward and made landfall near Tampa, Florida on June 26, shortly before dissipating over land.
The depression, in combination with an upper-level trough to its west, produced heavy rainfall to the east of its path. In Cuba, peaked at 33.43 inches (849 mm) , destroying hundreds of homes and causing two fatalities. In Florida rainfall reached 25 inches (640 mm). The heaviest flooding occurred in Sarasota and Manatee counties, where 4,000 houses were affected, causing thousands to evacuate. The flooding in Florida resulted in two direct fatalities and was indirectly responsible for an additional traffic casualty. Total damage in Florida amounted to over $2.6 million (1992 USD, $4 million 2009 USD).
