 Due to the weak and disorganized structure of the storm, its effects upon landfall in Florida were minimal. Gusty winds damaged newly planted trees, and some power lines were downed; throughout the state, roughly 14,000 people lost power. A storm surge of 0.94 ft (0.29 m) was measured at Virginia Key. Tropical storm-force winds were recorded in several areas, although sustained winds of over 40 mph (65 km / h) were confined to Virginia Key. Rainfall was also minimal, with a maximum of 3.25 in (83 mm) falling in northern Miami-Dade County. Overall, monetary losses as a result of the storm in Florida amounted to $ 2,000 (2010 USD). In Pinellas County, one person was hospitalized after being struck by lightning at Fred Howard Park on July 24.
