The list of Florida hurricanes from 2000 to the present has been marked by several devastating North Atlantic hurricanes; 79 tropical or subtropical cyclones, their remnants, or their precursors have affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in more than $123 billion in damage and 339 deaths. Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state. During the 2004 season, more than one out of every five houses in the state received damage.[1] After Wilma in 2005, it would be 11 years until another hurricane would strike the state, and 12 years until another major hurricane would strike the state.
The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Michael, which was a Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, the highest category on the scale. Michael was the strongest hurricane to strike the contiguous United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Additionally, hurricanes Charley, Jeanne, Dennis, Wilma, and Irma made landfall on the state as major hurricanes.

- May 29 – Tropical Storm Alberto made landfall near Laguna Beach with winds of 45 mph (70 km/h). The storm dropped heavy rainfall to the east over the Florida panhandle, reaching 11.8 in (300 mm) at Taylor Creek on the northern shore of Lake Okeechobee.[158] Gusty winds knocked down trees, causing some power outages.[159] In Port Salerno, Alberto spawned a brief EF0 tornado.[160]
- September 3 – Tropical Storm Gordon moved over the Florida Keys and extreme southwestern Florida. The storm caused slick roads that led to a fatal car crash on I-95 near Miami. Gordon later moved ashore southern Mississippi; its outer rainbands knocked down a tree near Pensacola, killing a young child.[161][162]
- September 9–18– Rip currents from distant Hurricane Florence killed a man in New Smyrna Beach and Playalinda Beach.[163][164]
- October 10 — Hurricane Michael made landfall at 17:30 UTC near Mexico Beach, Florida with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (255 km/h), making it the strongest hurricane on record to strike the Florida panhandle, and the first Category 5 hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The estimated landfall central pressure was 919 mbar (27.14 inHg), the second most intense hurricane in Florida after the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. Michael killed 50 people in Florida, seven of them directly related to the storm's impacts. Statewide economic damage was estimated at $18.4 billion, with catastrophic damage in Mexico Beach and Tyndall Air Force Base. Damage at the base was estimated at $4.7 billion, where wind gusts reached 139 mph (224 km/h), and was estimated as strong as 172 mph (277 km/h).[165][166][167]

- August 24 – The precursor low to Tropical Storm Erin moved across the southeastern portion of the state.[170]
- September 1–4 – For two days, the NHC forecasted that powerful Hurricane Dorian would move ashore southeastern Florida. The hurricane ultimately stalled over The Bahamas and remained east of the state. Wind gusts reached 69 mph (111 km/h) in New Smyrna Beach. Dorian also produced a storm surge of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) in Fernandina Beach. Three people in the state died indirectly due to the hurricane – one person was electrocuted while trimming trees ahead of the storm, and two people died while preparing their homes.[171] Damage totaled around $10 million in Duval County.[172]
- September 12–13, 2019 – Rip currents from Tropical Storm Humberto killed a man in St. Johns County.[173][174]
- September 30, 2019 – Large swells and rip currents generated by Hurricane Lorenzo killed a man in Vero Beach.[175][176]
- October 18, 2019 – Former Tropical Storm Nestor transitioned into an extratropical cyclone and struck the Florida panhandle, causing storm surge flooding along the coast. Rainfall in the state reached 7.77 in (197 mm) in Pinellas County, resulting in street flooding. Nestor spawned at least three tornadoes in the state and left about 10,000 people without power.[177]

- May 13–14 – The precursor of Tropical Storm Arthur produced heavy rainfall across southern Florida, which resulted in an injury in Hollywood when the rains caused a ceiling to collapse.[178]
- May 25–27 – The precursor of Tropical Storm Bertha dropped heavy rainfall, with a 24-hour total of 7.4 in (190 mm) in Miami; this was more than double the previous daily rainfall record.[179] The rains flooded homes and roadways, especially in close proximity to canals.[180] The storm caused the planned Crew Dragon Demo-2 launch from Cape Canaveral to be canceled.[181]
- June 6–7 – While moving northward through the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Cristobal spawned six tornadoes in Florida, including an EF1 near Orlando that damaged 42 homes and buildings.[182][183]
- July 6 – The precursor low to Tropical Storm Fay moved ashore the Florida gulf coast, later developing into a tropical storm off the east coast of the United States.[184]
- July 22 – Rip currents from Hurricane Hanna killed a swimmer in Sandestin Beach along the gulf coast.[185]
- August 1–3 – Tropical Storm Isaias paralleled the east coast of Florida, dropping substantial amounts of rainfall and causing power outages to about 3,000 people in South Florida. Although the NHC issued hurricane warnings, the core of the storm remained offshore, and the peak wind gusts were 58 mph (93 km/h) in Dania Beach.[186]
- August 23–24 – Hurricane Marco dropped heavy rainfall on the Florida Panhandle, reaching 11.81 in (300 mm) in Apalachicola, causing some flooding.[187]
- August 26 – A strong squall from Tropical Storm Laura bought strong, gusty winds to Key West, causing sporadic damage. High surf and rip currents from the storm also caused a first responder to drown in St. George Island while trying to save two other swimmers.[188]
- September 10–15 – Hurricane Sally slowly moved ashore southern Alabama, producing peak wind gusts of 92 mph (148 km/h) in Pensacola. The city also recorded a 5.6 ft (1.7 m) storm surge, which was the third-highest water level there after Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the 1926 Miami hurricane. Sally dropped torrential rainfall across where it moved ashore, reaching 22.5 in (570 mm) near Pensacola. The rains and the storm surge caused significant flooding, resulting in hundreds of rescues. The storm damaged or destroyed thousands of structures. Three people died in Florida related to Sally, two due to drowning and one related to carbon monoxide poisoning while using a generator indoors.[189] Damage in Escambia County alone totaled $309 million.[190]
- October 4 – Rainbands from Tropical Storm Gamma near Mexico's Yucatán peninsula also produced rainfall in Florida.[191]
- October 10 – Rip currents from Hurricane Delta killed two swimmers along the gulf coast.[192]
