a tropical cyclone
Explanation: rotating winds and heavy thunderstorms over Florida describe a tropical cyclone (which includes tropical storms and hurricanes). The 60 mph wind speed is below the 74 mph threshold for a hurricane, so "hurricane" is not correct; it's more than a single thunderstorm and not simply a flood.
