Simulations were implemented using FTLOADDS (Flow and Transport in a Linked \nOverland/Aquifer Density-Dependent System) which is a coupled hydrodynamic surface-water and \ngroundwater simulator that was developed by the U. S. Geological Survey to improve understanding \nof the complex and interconnected hydrology in South Florida. A simulation of the 1926 Great Miami \nHurricane (GMH) strike had been previously developed with a hindcast representation in BISECT, \ndeveloped to represent sea level and water management for the period of 1926 to 1932 but constrained \nby the limited hydrology and meteorology data available from the historic past.  This simulation was \npresented in an article in the journal Ecological Processes (https://doi.org/10.1186/s13717-014-0028-3).  \nFor this study realistic hurricane wind and storm surge representations based on information synthesized \nfrom modern storm data are used to modify the previously published simulation.  Modifications represent \nthe GMH striking in 3 scenarios 1) In its real-life setting on September 18, 1926, 2) In a recent setting on \nSeptember 18, 1996, and 3) with 1926 inland condition and 1996 sea level. These 3 scenarios help define \nthe factors that affect how historical changes in climate, sea level, coastal topography, and the manmade \ncanal system affect the severity of inundation and salinity intrusion from a major storm. An assessment \nof those effects can determine which historical changes affect the hydrologic response to a particular \nstorm. Comparing the same storm strike at different historical times can improve understanding of how \nchanges in the system can affect the severity of storm damage.
