Port St. Lucie context
Port St. Lucie was platted by General Development Corporation starting in 1961 and stayed a modest canal town for decades before becoming one of the fastest-growing cities in the country from the 1990s on. Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne crossed nearly the same track through St. Lucie County within three weeks of each other in September 2004, snapping power poles and leaving much of the city dark for more than a week -- still the storm longtime residents measure every other one against when they size a standby unit.
