Frances Kills Four: New Hurricane Looms 
Hurricane Frances hit the United States, killing four people in Florida and knocking out power for about three million people, as a new storm gathered force in the Atlantic, Monday, September 6, 2004. Frances felled thousands of trees, tore roofs off houses, smashed traffic lights, downed power cables, and left Florida facing a new multi-billion dollar bill only weeks after Hurricane Charley killed more than 20 people and left more than 6.8 billion dollars of damage.
