In the 21st century, 80 tropical and subtropical cyclones, their remnants, and their precursors have affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in more than $236 billion in damage and 615 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, Hermine in 2016. The following year, Irma in 2017, was the first major hurricane to strike the state in 12 years.
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, Ian, Idalia, Helene, and Milton made landfall on the state as major hurricanes.
