context_page_description: The list of Florida hurricanes from 2000 to the present has been marked by several devastating North Atlantic hurricanes; as of 2017, 79 tropical or subtropical cyclones have affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in more than $123 billion in damage. Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were responsible for 145 direct fatalities and at least 92 indirect casualties during the period. Eleven cyclones affected the state in 2019, which was the year with the most tropical cyclones affecting the state. Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state. During the 2004 season, more than one out of every five houses in the state received damage. After Wilma in 2005, it would be 11 years until another hurricane would strike the state, and 12 years until another major hurricane would strike the state.
  The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Michael, which was the strongest hurricane to strike the contiguous United States since Hurricane Katrina.

  September 14, 2001 – Tropical Storm Gabrielle hits Venice, dropping moderate to heavy rainfall including a peak total of 15.1 inches (384 mm) in Parrish.
