In 2004, the back-to-back impact of hurricanes Frances and Jeanne caused most residents of Sebastian to lose power for two to three days, with some homes remaining without electricity for up to two weeks. Since then, significant improvements have been made, including enhanced infrastructure. Many communities now have underground power lines thanks to efforts by FPL, which should mitigate the extent of power outages unless there is a direct hit from a Category 5 hurricane.
