remnants progressed atlantic_ocean dissipating august early developmental stages north storm disrupted shipping routes bahamas generated rough seas offshore cuba landfall fort pierce hurricane caused property damage areas particularly coastal regions numerous homes central florida citrus crop hampered strong winds heavy rain florida lakes including rose past banks coastal areas damage infrastructure inland regions coast power outages caused widespread loss communication hurricane second landfall wind damage relatively minor torrential rainfall aided lift caused extensive flooding far north mid atlantic states overall hurricane caused damages primarily florida deaths hurricane tropical wave developed tropical depression near august system passed islands south entering
