last year was also the year of the Florida hurricane as well. Lets not be too over shadowed by Katrina and realise that 4 hurricanes hit Florida last year as well, along with 2 tropical storms

4 hurricanes hit FL? I know of only 2, Wilma and Katrina... Rita came south of FL and barely affected the keys.

TS Arlene and Hurricane Dennis both hit the panhandle.

Am I forgetting another hurricane?

EDIT: I guess Rita could be counted as affecting the Keys ...

Ok, so what's the fourth?

Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Wilma.

Rita did have a significant impact on the Keys.

Florida has been affected by 8 hurricanes since 2004. In '04 - Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne. In '05 - Dennis, Katrina, Wilma and Rita. Derek is right, Katrina sort of overshadowed all the others but Florida has been hammered in the last two years.

2005:
Arlene - Panhandle/Pensacola
Dennis- Panhandle/Pensacola
Katrina - SE Florida
Rita - Keys
Wilma - SW/SE Florida
Tammy - NE Florida

2004:
Bonnie - Panhandle/North Florida
Charlie - SW Florida/Central Florida
Frances - South-Central Florida
Ivan - Panhandle first - then South Florida (As a TS on the return loop)
Jeanne - South-Central Florida

In the past 2 years:
7 Hurricanes (Hurricane strength at time of landfall)
4 Tropical Storms

IF Katrina hadn't taken that Southwest track at the last minute, the West Coast

would have taken a pretty severe whack. The forecast was a track right across

Alligator Alley.

:eek:

Well Florida is the most Hurricane prone state in the US, and one of the most hurricane prone areas in mainland North America. Sad, but true

Those numbers are good.

I personally don't look at the numbers, I will prepare the same either way

Ask anybody who owned property between Perdido Key and Navarre Beach, it definitely hit the panhandle too.

Louisiana had 2 TS in 2004 and 3 Hurricanes in 2005:

2004: Son of Ivan, Matthew
2005: Need I say...Ok, Cindy, that K storm, what was her name?, Rita. :lol:

2006: Hopefully left blank.
