Update 2: Hurricane stroke Florida again

Update 2: Hurricane stroke Florida again

(by Geck Finn)

Tropical Storm Jeanne that hit Haiti with 2,000 of people died on Monday stroke the north of Florida, causing the fourth in six week damage to the U.S.

Jeanne is the fourth damage-maker in Florida over historically short period of time. It already caused a devastating damage in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico last week.

The tropical storm is blamed of four people died in the U.S. and two of them died when their vehicle went off a road into a pond on Saturday near Coconut Creek, in south Florida.

"The structural damage, although not catastrophic to the extent we indicated in Ivan, is still going to be significant for those who do have their roofs blown off," said Thaddeus Cohen, secretary of the Florida Department of Community Affairs.

It is the first time in the U.S. history since 1851 that four hurricanes hit Florida in such a short period. On August 13 it was hit by hurricane Charley, September 5 was marked by hurricane Frances and on September 16 hurricane Ivan stroke the coast with the total from three hurricanes of 108 people dead and almost $20 billion of insured losses.

Jeanne’s insured losses are estimated at approx $4 billion to $8 billion, according to risk assessment group Risk Management Solutions.
