The Florida Keys were a group of islands off the southeastern tip of Florida. The islands were regularly threatened by hurricanes and tropical storms.

In May of 2151, Commander Charles Tucker III was a member of a landing party on a planet which would later be known as Archer IV. When a storm swept through the landing party's location at approximately eighty kilometers per hour, Commander Tucker commented that it seemed light compared to a hurricane coming up through the Florida Keys.
