    1. Florida Hurricanes August/September 2004 Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley both hit Florida. Bonnie for the most part brought beneficial moisture as the state was trending dry. Hurricane Charley slammed into southwestern Florida on Friday, August 13, the eye crossing the shoreline near Port Charlotte, at about 5:00 PM EDT. By morning August 14, Charley had beaten a destructive swath diagonally across the state, exiting at Daytona Beach. Hurricane Frances made landfall at the Martin and St. Lucie County border at 1 AM on September 5, 2004 with sustained winds at 105 mph. Hurricane force wind made landfall from Ft. Lauderdale in the south to Titusville in the north. Hurricane-force winds of 75 mph reached as far west as Lakeland, in Polk County. Besides winds, the extended damage from Frances was from very heavy rainfall. After leaving the peninsula at Pasco County, Tropical Storm Frances then re-entered the Panhandle of Florida at Wakulla County and tracked north into Georgia and the Carolinas, bringing very heavy rain.Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley both hit Florida.

Note winds were at hurricane strength during its entire journey across Florida. This map is provided by the World Agricultural Outlook Board, showing the path of Hurricane Charley.

    3. Florida Crop Weather Summarized from report by USDA-NASS Released August 17, 2004 Summary of NASS first, after Hurricane Charley crop condition and weather summary. While citrus trees where damaged, and green fruit was knocked off of trees, NASS could not get out for field evaluations and will include a more precise analysis in the next report. The heavy rains benefited pasture and hay crop conditions and also the next cycle of vegetable and fall-planted crops. Florida was trending dry before the storms.Summary of NASS first, after Hurricane Charley crop condition and weather summary.

    4. NASS Citrus Prod. Map with Charley Track - PECAD Another map showing the areas of high winds. The red swath shows the area where hurricane-strength (> 75 mph) winds crossed the state. The orange lines indicate the boundary of gale force winds, 39 mph 74 mph. The area shaded in red accounted for just under 52 percent of Floridas 2002-03 citrus production.

    12. NE Charlotte County, Florida Landsat 7 scene, two days after Charley. Some wet and flooded fields are easily visible and marked. Resolution not adequate to see tree damage or dropped fruit. The green tractor marks on the right hand side of the image show the data gaps from the satellite image, and are not part of our analysis.Landsat 7 scene, two days after Charley.

    14. Landsat 5 Before and After The August 25, 2004 image is much wetter. In DeSoto and Hardee counties, flooding of the Peace River and Horse Creek are evident on August 25, as examples. Much more standing water is evident in most counties in the August scene. The orange box on the right-hand image locates DeSoto and Hardee counties. The August 25, 2004 image is much wetter.

    15. Peace River Hardee County, Florida There is much more water in the Peace River on August 25, compared to July 24, 2004, flooding is evident. This is in an area that was soaked by rain from Frances and subsequent storms in September. The bright orange areas are some field crops, including irrigated fields.There is much more water in the Peace River on August 25, compared to July 24, 2004, flooding is evident.

Even the better-than-30-meter resolution of SPOT 4 is not high enough to see the damage to buildings in this area. This is an August 16, 2004 SPOT 4 multi-spectral scene.

    24. Hurricane Frances A track map of Hurricane Frances, overlaid on a Florida county citrus production map. The light gray are minor citrus producing counties and the dark gray are major citrus producers. Hurricane force winds are highlighted by the black hashed area. Hurricane force winds hit all the eastern citrus counties, including the Indian River region, which missed most of Charleys high winds.

    28. National Weather Service Significant River Flood Outlook Besides wind damage, the significant damage from Frances and subsequent rain was multi-day overland and river flooding. Up to 30 percent of the citrus trees in the Indian River area were damaged or destroyed. While more than 90 percent were affected by multi-days of standing water. This lose of oxygen to root systems will cause death to some of the weaker trees, but undoubtedly cause the trees to drop remaining set fruit, that young green fruit that was not already knocked of by the Hurricane strength winds.
