History:

"Jeanne", the tenth tropical storm of the Atlantic season formed Monday, September 13 from a westward moving wave in the tropical Atlantic east of the Lesser Antilles Islands. The storm was slow to organized and slowly moved over the southern Bahamas and northern Caribbean for several days dumping extremely heavy rains over the Dominican Republic and Haiti resulting in over two thousand deaths there along with a tremendous about of hardship and disarray. "Jeanne" made U.S. landfall late in the night on September 25 with 120 mph winds along the east central cost of Florida very near the place where "Frances" came ashore three weeks earlier. "Jeanne" worked its way northward into Georgia as a decaying tropical system producing strong winds of 35-45 mph in the Savannah area but most of the heavier rains associated with that storm fell to our south, west and north.
