Frances and Jeanne hit in the exact same spot BTW:

AT 1 AM EDT...0500Z...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE FRANCES WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 27.2 NORTH...LONGITUDE 80.2 WEST OR NEAR SEWALL'S
POINT FLORIDA. THIS IS ALSO IN THE VICINITY OF STUART...JENSEN
BEACH...AND PORT SALERNO FLORIDA.

AROUND 1150 PM EDT SATURDAY...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE JEANNE MADE
LANDFALL NEAR THE SOUTHERN END OF HUTCHINSON ISLAND JUST EAST OF
STUART FLORIDA...NEAR LATITUDE 27.2 NORTH...LONGITUDE 80.2 WEST.


Okay, regardless of the exact location of landfall, the point I was trying to make was that they failed to mention Jeanne, who was indeed a category 3 storm with winds of 120mph as I recall. She hit what is considered, albeit on the border of SE coast and central coast, it was the central coast and she was a category 3. BTW, I'm quite familer with the dates, and times and tracks of both Frances and Jeanne. I didn't get the couny right, but I knew that it was the county that is due east of Lake Okeechobee (now I know to be Martin) We here in Orlando took quite a beating from both storms, a little worse from Jeanne because she eventually tracked a little further north and was stronger. Of course neither compared to what we experienced here from Charley.
