Historical Statistics Needed

Can anyone help out with how long it has taken the longest/worst hurricane to cross the southern Florida peninsula? As a point of reference, I know that Wilma took at least 36 hours to clear Cozumel/Cancun/Yucatan and Luis took about the same time to move across St. Barth and St. Maarten. But I am not aware of any source of info on the longest time it has taken a hurricane to cross South Florida. Also, the dearth of serious hurricanes crossing the peninsula (except for 2004 and 2005) means most of us haven't lived through a slow moving storm.

Appreciate any thoughts anyone can provide.

Thanks
