Category 5 hurricane
on October 10, 2018

The list of Florida hurricanes from the 21st century has been marked by several devastating

North Atlantic hurricanes; 79 tropical or subtropical cyclones, their remnants, or their precursors have affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in more than $236 billion in damage and 615 deaths.[citation needed] Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state. During the 2004 season, more than one out of every five houses in the state received damage.[1] After Wilma in 2005, it would be 11 years until another hurricane would strike the state, Hermine in 2016. The following year, Irma
in 2017, was the first major hurricane to strike the state in 12 years.

The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Michael, which was a Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, the highest category on the scale. Michael was the strongest hurricane to strike the contiguous United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Additionally, hurricanes Charley, Jeanne, Dennis, Wilma, Irma, Ian, and Idalia made landfall on the state as major hurricanes.

  • August 23 – Hurricane Debby was forecasted to move through the Florida Keys as a hurricane, which prompted a mandatory evacuation for all non-residents.[2] However, Debby dissipated before its remnant tropical wave, produced heavy rainfall and strong winds across southern Florida.[2]
  • September 18 – Tropical Storm Gordon makes landfall on Cedar Key, dropping up to 9.48 inches (241 mm) of rainfall in Mayo.[3] Hundreds of homes are damaged from floodwaters or fallen trees, and damage in the state amounts to at least $5.1 million (2000 USD).[4] A surfer drowns in rough seas near Pensacola.[5]
  • September 22 – Tropical Storm Helene hits near Pensacola, damaging hundreds of homes from floodwaters. Monetary damage totals over $1 million (2000 USD).[6]
  • October 3 – The precursor disturbance to Tropical Storm Leslie produces 10–20 inches (250–510 mm) of rainfall across southeastern Florida, flooding about 93,000 houses. The flooding causes $950 million in damage (2000 USD),[7] along with three indirect deaths.[8]

  • August 12 –
    Saint Vincent Island as a weakening storm. Rains in the state reached 4.64 in (118 mm) in Milligan.[36][21]
  • August 13 – Hurricane Charley struck southwestern Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, the strongest landfall in the continental United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Its eye crossed Cayo Costa and later the mainland at Punta Gorda, before crossing the state with much of its intensity retained. A wind gust of 173 mph (278 km/h) was recorded on a tower in Punta Gorda. Orlando recorded a wind gust of 105 mph (170 km/h). The winds damaged or destroyed thousands of homes, knocked down tens of thousands of trees, and left more than 2 million Floridians without power. Charley also spawned nine tornadoes across the state. Rainfall associated with the hurricane reached 9.88 in (251 mm) in Bud Slough. Charley resulted in 34 deaths across the state, as well as 792 injuries, and damage was estimated at $16 billion, at the time the second-costliest American hurricane.[37][38][21][39]
  • September 5 – Hurricane Frances made landfall along the southern end of Hutchinson Island as a Category 2 hurricane, and moved slowly across the state, making a second landfall along the gulf coast near New Port Richey. Wind gusts reached 108 mph (174 km/h) at Fort Pierce. Frances dropped heavy rainfall in the state, peaking at 16.61 in (422 mm) at Kent Grove. The storm produced an estimated 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m) storm surge along Florida's east coast, which damaged marinas, piers, and other coastal property. The storm also produced 23 tornadoes in the state as part of a widespread outbreak. At least 1.7 million people lost power during the storm, and more than 17,000 buildings were damaged in Palm Beach County alone. During its passage, Frances led to 37 deaths, as well as $9.8 billion in damage.[40][21][39][41]
  • September 16 – Hurricane Ivan struck Gulf Shores, Alabama as a major hurricane, with its large and powerful circulation producing peak wind gusts of 107 mph (172 km/h) in Pensacola. Ivan moved ashore with a significant storm surge, estimated at 10 to 15 ft (3.0 to 4.6 m); the surge, in addition to high waves, severely damaged the Escambia Bay Bridge carrying Interstate 10. Rainfall from the storm reached 15.75 in (400 mm) in Pensacola. The hurricane also produced an extensive tornado outbreak, including 18 that touched down in Florida. The strong winds knocked down many trees along the panhandle, causing prolonged power outages. The remnants of Ivan later crossed over the southern portion of the state after looping southward, eventually reforming in the Gulf of Mexico on September 23. Damage in the state totaled over $4 billion, and 29 people died from the hurricane.[42][21][43][44][45]

Sally dropped torrential rainfall across where it moved ashore, reaching 22.5 in (570 mm) near Pensacola. The rains and the storm surge caused significant flooding, resulting in hundreds of rescues. The storm damaged or destroyed thousands of structures. Three people died in Florida related to Sally, two due to drowning and one related to carbon monoxide poisoning while using a generator indoors.[189] Damage in Escambia County alone totaled $309 million.[190]

    Tropical Storm Gamma near Mexico's Yucatán peninsula also produced rainfall in Florida.[191]
  • October 10 – Rip currents from Hurricane Delta killed two swimmers along the gulf coast.[192]
  • October 28 – As Hurricane Zeta struck Louisiana, it also produced wind gusts of 52 mph (84 km/h) in Pensacola, causing power outages to 51,200 people.[193]
  • November 7–9 – Tropical Storm Eta made two landfalls in Florida, bringing strong winds, storm surge, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding to much of the state.[194]

  • June 4 – The precursor system to Tropical Storm Alex caused flash flooding in South Florida, inflicting minor damage to the area.
  • September 26–30 – Hurricane Ian passed through Florida throughout late September 2022. Ian first went over Dry Tortugas National Park in the Florida Keys as a Category 3 storm on September 26 and 27. Ian rapidly intensified before making landfall at Cayo Costa and Punta Gorda as a high-end Category 4 storm, respectively. Ian brought massive storm surge to Southwestern Florida, where over 1 million people lost electricity, and its outer bands caused damage near Miami, where tornadoes were reported. Ian's persistent high winds and torrential rains also caused substantial and widespread damage to inland Central and Northeastern Florida as it crossed the peninsula. Although the system had weakened to tropical storm strength by the time it neared the Atlantic coast, a wind gust of 96 mph (154 km/h) was recorded in New Smyrna Beach.[198]
  • November 10 –
    Vero Beach on North Hutchinson Island as a low-end Category 1 storm with winds of 75 mph (121 km/h), becoming the first tropical cyclone to make landfall along the east coast of Florida at hurricane strength since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As well, Nicole became only the third November hurricane to make landfall in Florida on record, alongside the 1935 Yankee hurricane and Hurricane Kate in 1985.[199]

2023

Storm surge flooding in Tampa from Hurricane Idalia
  • June 1–3 –
    Tropical Storm Arlene
    brought rain to Florida.
  • August 30 – Hurricane Idalia made landfall near Keaton Beach in the Big Bend region as a Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 115 mph (185 km/h), causing significant flooding and wind damage to the area.[200] Storm surge near Cedar Key reached up to 8.9 feet (2.7 m),[201] while locations further south near Tampa Bay and Clearwater experienced over 3 ft (0.91 m) of storm surge.[202] Four people were killed in the state, with two of the fatalities occurring from traffic accidents as a result of the hazardous conditions. [203][204][205][206]
  • September 13 – Rip currents from distant
    Fernandina Beach.[207]
