The following is a '''history of hurricane activity in the Caribbean''':

*[[September 3]]-[[September 5|5]], [[2004]] - [[Hurricane Frances]] lingers over the Bahamas as a category 4 causing significant vegetative and structural damage
*[[2004]] - [[Hurricane Jeanne]] formed near the Leeward Islands and passed over near St. Croix.  It crossed Puerto Rico as a very strong tropical storm and reached hurricane strength just before making landfall over the [[Dominican Republic]] as a Category One.  It proceeded to move over [[Haiti]] causing mudslides that left 3,000 dead.
