Hurricane Fran developed August 23, 1996. At its peak it was a Category 3 storm with 120 mph winds. When it came ashore at Cape Fear on September 6, it had weakened slightly. Fran was a "rainmaker," and flooding associated with it occurred as far north and inland as Ohio and Michigan. The remnants of Fran ultimately dissipated over Canada on September 9. The damages associated with Hurricane Fran came to more than $3 billion, a figure usually seen with much stronger storms. Nonetheless, because of the damage caused by Fran in North Carolina and elsewhere, the name "Fran" was retired at the end of 1996.
