Just a guess, we are talking an airport with water runways, right? Since most planes at Midway don't have floats, they'd sink, and landings at night would be a no-no because there is (or was) no telling how rough the sea is.
I'm not really familiar with flying boat / seaplane bases, so I'll just take a stab in the dark and say former Dinner Key Naval Air Facility near Miami.

I like the line of thinking but no, not water runways....although in 2000 it came damn close to being a watery landing area !!
So.....most planes at Midway don't have floats. What else do most aircraft at Midway not have ?
If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

Props. So we are probably looking at an airport that was very busy, but has since been replaced by another airport, or lost it's importance.
During the Berlin airbridge the Berlin region was the busiest air sector in the world. But there where three airports (not couting "soviet" Schonefeld). I can find vague references to floods around Berlin Tempelhof. So is Tempelhof the airport you're looking for?
