Event narrative (NOAA)

Hurricane "Frances"Hurricane "Frances" made landfall along the central Florida coast and, as a weakening system, moved west-northwest across central Florida and then northwestwards into southwest Georgia. This motion brought the area into the periphery of the storm and north Florida experienced sustained tropical storm force winds with gusts to near hurricane force. Across the Suwannee Valley heavy rainfall resulted in extensive flooding in many locations. The lowest north Florida Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) of 987.8/29.16 in Hg was recorded in Ocala as the center moved to the southwest of the city. The lowest MSLP readings across north Florida ranged from 987.8/29.16 in HG at Ocala Airport (KOCF) to 1002.7 mb/29.61 in Hg at the National Ocean Systems (NOS) Tide Gage in Fernandina B
