The list of Florida hurricanes from 2000 to the present has been marked by several devastating North Atlantic hurricanes; 79 tropical or subtropical cyclones, their remnants, or their precursors have affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in more than $123 billion in damage and 339 deaths. 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.[1] 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 a Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, the highest category on the scale. Michael was the strongest hurricane to strike the contiguous United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Additionally, hurricanes Charley, Jeanne, Dennis, Wilma, Irma, and Ian, made landfall on the state as major hurricanes.

  • August 23 – Hurricane Debby was forecasted to move through the Florida Keys as a hurricane, which prompted a mandatory evacuation for all non-residents.[2] However, Debby dissipated before its remnant tropical wave, produced heavy rainfall and strong winds across southern Florida.[2]
  • September 18 – Tropical Storm Gordon makes landfall on Cedar Key, dropping up to 9.48 inches (240 mm) of rainfall in Mayo.[3] Hundreds of homes are damaged from floodwaters or fallen trees, and damage in the state amounts to at least $5.1 million (2000 USD).[4] A surfer drowns in rough seas near Pensacola.[5]
  • September 22 – Tropical Storm Helene hits near Pensacola, damaging hundreds of homes from floodwaters. Monetary damage totals over $1 million (2000 USD).[6]
  • October 3 – The precursor disturbance to Tropical Storm Leslie produces 10–20 inches (255–510 mm) of rainfall across southeastern Florida, flooding about 93,000 houses. The flooding causes $950 million in damage (2000 USD),[7] along with three indirect deaths.[8]

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

  • July 10–15 – Rip currents from Hurricane Barry killed a man in Panama City Beach.[168]
  • July 23 – Lightning from Tropical Depression Three struck a woman in Aventura as the depression approached the state's southeast coast.[169]
  • August 24 – The precursor low to Tropical Storm Erin moved across the southeastern portion of the state.[170]
  • September 1–4 – For two days, the NHC forecasted that powerful Hurricane Dorian would move ashore southeastern Florida. The hurricane ultimately stalled over The Bahamas and remained east of the state. Wind gusts reached 69 mph (111 km/h) in New Smyrna Beach. Dorian also produced a storm surge of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) in Fernandina Beach. Three people in the state died indirectly due to the hurricane – one person was electrocuted while trimming trees ahead of the storm, and two people died while preparing their homes.[171] Damage totaled around $10 million in Duval County.[172]
  • September 12–13, 2019 – Rip currents from Tropical Storm Humberto killed a man in St. Johns County.[173][174]
  • September 30, 2019 – Large swells and rip currents generated by Hurricane Lorenzo killed a man in Vero Beach.[175][176]
  • October 18, 2019 – Former Tropical Storm Nestor transitioned into an extratropical cyclone and struck the Florida panhandle, causing storm surge flooding along the coast. Rainfall in the state reached 7.77 in (197 mm) in Pinellas County, resulting in street flooding. Nestor spawned at least three tornadoes in the state and left about 10,000 people without power.[177]

  • May 13–14 – The precursor of Tropical Storm Arthur produced heavy rainfall across southern Florida, which resulted in an injury in Hollywood when the rains caused a ceiling to collapse.[178]
  • May 25–27 – The precursor of Tropical Storm Bertha dropped heavy rainfall, with a 24-hour total of 7.4 in (190 mm) in Miami; this was more than double the previous daily rainfall record.[179] The rains flooded homes and roadways, especially in close proximity to canals.[180] The storm caused the planned Crew Dragon Demo-2 launch from Cape Canaveral to be canceled.[181]
  • June 6–7 – While moving northward through the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Cristobal spawned six tornadoes in Florida, including an EF1 near Orlando that damaged 42 homes and buildings.[182][183]
  • July 6 – The precursor low to Tropical Storm Fay moved ashore the Florida gulf coast, later developing into a tropical storm off the east coast of the United States.[184]
  • July 22 – Rip currents from Hurricane Hanna killed a swimmer in Sandestin Beach along the gulf coast.[185]
  • August 1–3 – Tropical Storm Isaias paralleled the east coast of Florida, dropping substantial amounts of rainfall and causing power outages to about 3,000 people in South Florida. Although the NHC issued hurricane warnings, the core of the storm remained offshore, and the peak wind gusts were 58 mph (93 km/h) in Dania Beach.[186]
  • August 23–24 – Hurricane Marco dropped heavy rainfall on the Florida Panhandle, reaching 11.81 in (300 mm) in Apalachicola, causing some flooding.[187]
  • August 26 – A strong squall from Tropical Storm Laura bought strong, gusty winds to Key West, causing sporadic damage. High surf and rip currents from the storm also caused a first responder to drown in St. George Island while trying to save two other swimmers.[188]
  • September 10–15 – Hurricane Sally slowly moved ashore southern Alabama, producing peak wind gusts of 92 mph (148 km/h) in Pensacola. The city also recorded a 5.6 ft (1.7 m) storm surge, which was the third-highest water level there after Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the 1926 Miami hurricane. Sally dropped torrential rainfall across where it moved ashore, reaching 22.5 in (570 mm) near Pensacola. The rains and the storm surge caused significant flooding, resulting in hundreds of rescues. The storm damaged or destroyed thousands of structures. Three people died in Florida related to Sally, two due to drowning and one related to carbon monoxide poisoning while using a generator indoors.[189] Damage in Escambia County alone totaled $309 million.[190]
  • October 4 – Rainbands from Tropical Storm Gamma near Mexico's Yucatán peninsula also produced rainfall in Florida.[191]
  • October 10 – Rip currents from Hurricane Delta killed two swimmers along the gulf coast.[192]
  • October 28 – As Hurricane Zeta struck Louisiana, it also produced wind gusts of 52 mph (84 km/h) in Pensacola, causing power outages to 51,200 people.[193]
  • November 7–9 – Tropical Storm Eta made two landfalls in Florida, bringing strong winds, storm surge, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding to much of the state.[194]

  • July 5–6 – Tropical Storm Elsa – Elsa then accelerated northward, and it made landfall in Taylor County, Florida at 14:30 UTC that same day with maximum winds of about 55 kn (65 mph; 100 km/h)[convert: %s]%s.[195]
  • August 15 – Tropical Storm Fred – Fred reached its peak intensity as a strong tropical storm with winds of 65 mph (100 km/h) at 18:00 UTC on August 16 shortly before making landfall a few miles southeast of Mexico Beach near Cape San Blas, Florida at a similar intensity around an hour later at 19:15 UTC.[196][197]
  • September 9 – Tropical Storm Mindy – At 01:15 UTC on September 9, a combination of surface observations and radar data indicated that Mindy had attained a peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1000 mbar (29.53 inHg); as it made landfall on St. Vincent Island, Florida. These radar observations along with velocity data depicted Mindy with a well-defined circulation and spiral banding upon landfall. Over the next few hours, Mindy pushed inland across Florida's Big Bend region, skirting to the south of Tallahassee.

2022

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

  • June 4 – Tropical Storm Alex
  • September 26–present – Hurricane Ian passed through Florida throughout late September 2022. Ian first passed less than 20 miles away from Dry Tortugas National Park in the Florida Keys as a Category 3 storm on September 26 and 27. Ian rapidly intensified while it made two landfalls near Cape Coral and Punta Gorda as a high-end Category 4 storm, respectively. Ian brought massive storm surge to Southwestern Florida, where over 1 million people lost electricity. Ian's outer bands also caused damage near Miami, where tornadoes were reported. Ian also brought massive damage to Central and Northeastern Florida.
