The 2004 Hurricane Nightmare Began 13 Years Ago Today

Good morning Treasure Coast!! 12 years ago today, the hurricane nightmare of 2004 began. First we had Hurricane Charley that came ashore the West Coast of Florida. That storm lasted from August 9-15. Then came Hurricane Frances that was born August 23 and lasted through September 6. Frances was not particularly strong but the system hovered over the Treasure Coast for hours pounding the area with sustained winds and flooding rain. Ivan was the next system to hit Florida and that system hit the Panhandle area with flooding rains and strong winds. Last but least is the infamous Hurricane Jeanne. Jeanne came ashore at almost the exact same place as Frances after doing a complete loop in the Atlantic. Jeanne lasted from September 13 through the 27th. Jeanne reinforced an already damaged Florida with even more damage. Because of these back to back hurricanes, most Treasure Coast homes now have newer roofs.
