The 1935 Hurricane was a disaster of incredible magnitude. It had sustained winds of 185 mph and a storm surge of 18' to 20'. To this day it's referred to as the Great Hurricane.
It's surreal that so many natural disasters occur at night, and this Florida hurricane was no exception.
It's impossible to try and imagine the extent of terror one feels when a storm rips and tears at everything around you.
The rain, the wind, and the darkness pummeling and shrouding you. Debris flying, filthy water surging around and over you.
Buildings being torn apart. The desperate screams of people and animals fighting to stay alive.
You can't see, because all of this is happening in the dark around you.

Hurricanes are a fact of life, always will be, even the democrat deity, FDR, couldn't stop the 1935 hurricane.
That storm was a freak though since it was way back when there was only about 0.04% CO2 concentration in the atmosphere as opposed to the current much more dangerous 0.04%
The difference between 1935 and today is that no one should die. Everyone had fair warning. Makes me sick...
We really need to increase the CO2 concentration to 0.0400001 so we can have greater harvests of food.
Nicely put...and of course we know that Co2 is in reality immeasurable.
The President has assured me that prior to anthropogenic climate change hurricanes simply did not occur during September.
Just ask the Osceola brothers.
LOL
Yes true, but are you for forced evacuations at gun point, kinda of like forced vaxs?
It's the small libertarian in me, if people wish to be idiots, when they know the danger is coming, so be it.
That would be the same President who has assured us of certain other things also, most of which has backed up on us like a dirty sewer. Don’t trust this monkey on anything.
Makes me sick that so many would choose to stay....same as you...just plain stupid.
When you look at the statistics you have a higher chance of dying in your car on the road then you do staying at home in a hurricane.
It is just that in one case you make the news and in the other probably not.
Were they smart to stay, perhaps not but mathematically the odds of dying were not much different in either case.
Hi.
The hurricane ended Flagler’s train service from Miami to Key West.
The train was toast. So were the passengers.
5.56mm
Joe was there..helping with the cleanup after fighting of a bunch of looters.
Then there’s the 1900 Galveston hurricane, the nation’s deadliest. Not to mention the Great Hurricane of 1780, the deadliest overall.
With early warning like today the 1900 Galveston death toll would have been minimal. Hurricanes killed so many because by the time you knew one was coming, it was too late.
Flagler Bridge?
This was the hurricane that killed so many of the Bonus Marchers from WWI protesting on the White Houe Lawn against FDR, so he sent them to the Keys to get them out of the way. The rescue train sent to retrieve them got blown off the tracks.
My professor in college wrote this book. He had given me the idea to write a paper on the subject, which he quite liked, and used much of when he wrote this book.
1935? But, but...that was way beck before Republicans invented climate change and started whipping up hurricanes. Must be fake news,
The last train to Key West.
