St. Lucie County on Florida's Treasure Coast was struck directly by Hurricane Frances in 2004, and then again by Jeanne just three weeks later — an almost unprecedented double direct hit. The county's coastal location on the Atlantic makes it vulnerable to both direct landfalls and glancing blows from storms tracking up the Florida coast.
