Hurricane Jeanne

Hurricane Jeanne was the fifth major hurricane of the 2004 season. Jeanne had maximum wind speeds of 120mph, which places it below Charley but above Frances. The damage it caused amounts to $7.6 million, but it caused a depressingly large number of deaths--more than 3,035 direct fatalities. Most of these fatalities were from Haiti, where Jeanne caused severe flooding and mudslides in the coastal city of Gonaïves, affecting 80% of the city's population. In the US there were only 5 deaths in total, but the storm caused other inconveniences like floods and power outages. Know when a hurricane is coming in your area.
