:''This article deals with the 2004 Hurricane Jeanne. For information on other storms of the same name, see Hurricane Jeanne (disambiguation).'' Hurricane Jeanne was the tenth named tropical cyclone, the seventh tropical cyclone, and the fifth major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. It was also the fourth hurricane and fifth named storm of the season to landfall in Florida. Jeanne affected the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, the north-eastern Bahamas, and the U.S. state of Florida. The worst damage occurred in Haiti, where over 3,000 people died as a result of flooding and mudslides caused by the storm. ==Storm history== Tropical Depression Eleven formed from a tropical wave 70 miles (110 km) east-southeast of Guadeloupe in the evening of September 13, and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Jeanne the next day. Jeanne passed south of the U.S. Virgin Islands on September 15 and made landfall near Yabucoa, Puerto Rico later the same day. After crossing Puerto Rico it reached hurricane strength on September 16 near the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola, but fell back to tropical storm strength later that day as it moved inland across the Dominican Republic. Jeanne continued to move slowly over the Dominican Republic on September 17 before finally leaving the island late that afternoon. By that time, Jeanne had declined one more level, to tropical depression strength. Even though it did not strike Haiti directly, the storm was large enough to cause flooding and mudslides, particularly in the northwestern part of the country. [[Image:Jeanne At Landfall.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Hurricane Jeanne infrared satellite image, taken at landfall on the Florida coast (September 26, 2004 at 12:15 AM EDT).]] On September 18, while the system was being tracked near Great Inagua and Haiti, a new center formed well to the north-east and the previous circulation dissipated. The new center strengthened again, becoming a hurricane on September 20. Jeanne continued to meander for several days before beginning a steady westward motion toward the Bahamas and Florida. Jeanne continued strengthening as it headed west, passing over Great Abaco in the Bahamas on the morning of September 25. Shortly thereafter, it reached Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale strength. It maintained this intensity as it passed Grand Bahama during the remainder of the day. At 11:50 pm EDT September 25 (0350 UTC September 26), Jeanne made landfall on Hutchinson Island, just east of Stuart, Florida and Port Saint Lucie, Florida, at Category 3 strength. This is only about two miles (3 km) from Sewall's Point, where Hurricane Frances struck Florida three weeks earlier. Jeanne is the first major (Category 3 or higher) storm to make landfall on the east coast north of Palm Beach, Florida and south of the mouth of the Savannah River since at least 1899. Jeanne's track continued to follow within 20 miles of that of Frances until it reached Pasco County, Florida. It then swung more rapidly to the north, and the center remained over land all the way to the Georgia (U.S. state) state line, unlike Frances which exited into the Gulf of Mexico. It became extratropical over Virginia on September 28 and the remnant returned to sea off the New Jersey coast the next day. The last advisory was issued when it was 200 miles (320 km) east of New York City and heading east-northeast over the Atlantic Ocean. ==Impact== ===Puerto Rico=== The entire power grid of Puerto Rico was shut down by the government as the storm approached to prevent electrocutions and infrastructure damage. This power outage has been credited with indirectly causing three deaths and United States dollar200 million in economic losses ([http://www.puertoricowow.com/html/general-detail.asp?amaspHidden_listActive=true&amaspField_newshd=PR%20residents%20want%20answers%20about%20power%20shutdown%20&amaspHidden_newshd_dataType=string]). 600,000 were left without running water. Landslides caused a large amount of damage to the exotic vegetation in the Caribbean National Forest. President of the United States George W. Bush declared the territory a federal disaster area and sent over $2 million in relief. A total of seven people are reported dead in Puerto Rico as a result of Jeanne. ===Dominican Republic=== During its slow progress over the northern Dominican Republic, the storm damaged many homes in the town of Samaná. At least 18 deaths were attributed to Jeanne in this country. ===Haiti=== Heavy rains totaling about 13 inches (33 cm) in the northern mountains of Haiti caused severe flooding and mudslides in the Artibonite region of the country, causing particular damage in the coastal city of Gonaïves, where it affected about 80,000 of the city's 100,000 residents. As of October 6, the official report counted 3,006 people dead, with 2,826 of those in Gonaïves alone [http://hurricane.info.usaid.gov/]. Another 2,601 people were injured [http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041004/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/haiti&cid=589&ncid=716]. Many of the dead remained unburied for days and relief workers had to bury bodies in mass graves in an attempt to avoid the spread of disease. Some bodies washed out to sea and may never be recovered. The flooding occurred well after the center of the storm had left Haiti, and outside the areas covered by storm warnings. Widespread looting was reported in the hardest hit areas and UN peacekeepers sometimes had to fight off armed crowds at relief distribution points. ===United States=== Millions in Florida were left without electricity, some for the third time in a month. There were only four direct deaths in the mainland United States, three in Florida, one in South Carolina and one in Virginia. The final US damage was determined to be around $6,900,000,000, making it the eighth costliest hurricane in United States history. It was difficult to isolate this from damage caused by Hurricane Frances (and, around Polk County, Florida, Hurricane Charley as well). As the storm moved northward east of the Appalachian Mountains, it continued producing heavy rains and flash flooding. Rainfall exceeded 6.00 inches as far north as Trenton, New Jersey, resulting in severe flash flooding in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and its Pennsylvania and New Jersey suburbs on September 28. Tornadoes also touched down in Wilmington, Delaware and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The name 'Jeanne' was retired in the Spring of 2005 by the World Meteorological Organization. It will be replaced in 2010 by 'Julia'. ==Media== ==External links== *[http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/2004jeanne.shtml NHC Tropical Cyclone Report on Hurricane Jeanne] *[http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2004/refresh/JEANNE+shtml/ NHC's public advisory archive on Hurricane Jeanne] *[http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical2004/JEANNE/JEANNE_archive.shtml HPC's public advisory archive on TD Jeanne] ga:Hurricane Jeanne Atlantic hurricanes 2004 Atlantic hurricane season
Let's not let this become a precedent, shall we? Consensus seemed to be that being a named storm is not an automatic criteria for getting its own article.

While there is definitely a good case for retirement right now, Haiti has not been terribly reliable in making cases for retirement (remember Gordon in 1994, over 2000 killed and yet it remains on the list). If it makes another landfall, then it should be retired for sure, but for now I'd say it is 'questionable'. There has never been more than four retired names from any one season, that should be broken this year... :Yeah, the criteria for retirement can be really weird. Some storms that killed a dozen and did a billion in damage are retired; Gordon wasn't. We will see. Again, if it doesn't get retired, then 2010 can sue me. :P (Of course, the odds of the 2010 Jeanne being more worthy of the main article than the 2004 Jeanne are low; but if it makes it, then hey, moving pages is easy.) --User:Golbez 00:53, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC) ::It's happened once before that such a situation happened - Hurricane Juan (1985) which was overlooked by the US in making a retirement case, then Hurricane Juan (2003) was made by Environment Canada, which ended its misery and got itself the main article...I wonder if the US played a role in helping out 18 years later... Death toll's up to 1,000. They'll likely retire it just to avoid the bad PR of not doing so. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 07:09, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC) :Since it is headed for landfall in Florida as a hurricane (probably a major hurricane), I think it is safe to give Jeanne the main article now, this should be the 4th name of 2004 retired. (There has never been a year with 5 or more names retired, this very well could be a record-breaking year if there is a devastating storm in October) Thanks a lot! Are you trying to jinx us?

User:Tomf688 02:13, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC) According to this [http://www.stevequayle.com/News.alert/04_Cosmic/041214.hurricane.names.html story], the U.S. is recommending the retirement of all four nasty 2004 storms, to be ratified at the 2005 WMO Hurricane Committee meeting in Costa Rica from 31 March to 5 April. --User:Goobergunch|User talk:Goobergunch 01:56, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) == HOORAY == Hooray for Sir August de Wynter from The Avengers! :Eh? -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 00:37, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) ::In reference to a similarly odd comment left on one of the other pages. No clue, haven't seen the Avengers. --User:Golbez 00:44, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC) :Here's the IMBD: [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118661/]. The movie features a villain with a weather machine. This must be from the only person who liked the movie ;-) User:Awolf002 00:56, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) == Oddness == I grabbed the Melbourne radar image from Jeanne's landfall. Oddly enough, I had the one from Frances lying around. The similarities are scary. I'll see if I can find a place to put them so I can have an excuse to upload them for comparisons. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 07:18, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC) : I think there is about a 5 mi difference in landfall. Looks like twins, but for the speed. User:Awolf002 08:39, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Map== The map of Jeanne's predicted path needs to be updated. The caption states Sep. 26, but the image is from Sep 23. The new map is on www.noaa.gov. I would do it myself, but I'm not sure how to edit picture yet. User:131.247.46.203 23:16, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC) :You're seeing a cached version, the image has been updated quite a few times since the 23rd. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 23:32, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Moving== Well, that was fun. Unfortunately, the history for the article seems to have been wiped by all the moving. Is it possible to restore? --User:Golbez 18:33, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC) :It should be now. --User:Maveric149 19:16, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC) == Combining category and sust wind speeds. == That seems to clean the table up a bit imho, if there's no objection I'll do the same for the other storms too.
