""HUTCHINSON ISLAND, Fla. (AP) - Jeanne, Florida's fourth hurricane in six
weeks, piled on destruction in already ravaged areas Sunday, slicing across
the state with howling wind that rocketed debris from earlier storms and
torrents of rain that turned streets into rivers.
Jeanne was blamed for at least six deaths in Florida after causing floods
in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico last week in which at
least 1,680 people died, with some 800 still missing in Haiti.
Jeanne came ashore in the same area hit three weeks ago by Hurricane
Frances and was headed for the Panhandle, where 70,000 homes and businesses
remained without power because of Hurricane Ivan 10 days earlier.
The storm peeled the roofs off buildings, toppled light poles, destroyed a
deserted community center in Jensen Beach and flooded some bridges from the
mainland to the Atlantic coast's barrier islands. The storm left about 5.2
million people without electricity as it pulled down trees and shredded
power lines.
Until this weekend, no state had suffered a four-hurricane pounding in one
season since Texas in 1886. And the hurricane season still has two months
to go.
President Bush declared a major disaster area in Florida. The hurricanes
have prompted the largest relief effort in the Federal Emergency Management
Agency's history, eclipsing responses for the 1994 earthquake in
Northridge, Calif., and the 2001 terrorist attacks, director Michael Brown
said.
"You're going to have some areas that have been hit once, twice and
sometimes maybe three times," Brown said. "That's very frustrating, I know,
for those who live in those communities."
In the last six weeks, Florida has been hit by hurricanes Charley, Frances
and Ivan. Jeanne was the record fourth hurricane of the season, which left
a combined 114 people dead in the United States."
