Ping for historical accuracy.
It is not in anyway historically accurate. The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 definitely hit the FL Keys. There is an amazing often overlooked Art Deco coquina rock memorial to the victims in a mass grave on Marathon Key. FDR- on a BS trip with his Flagler pals, gave a cursory photo op stop, and B/W photos of him there at the memorial. Full of himself as usual.
The list of hurricanes on wikipedia is better than this clown posting. 1935 the worst up until Andrew and then Katrina. Andrew blew an employee’s house right off the foundation into the Everglades outside Kendall, FL. They had left. Same thing with family in Katrina at Pass Christian, MS, which took their truck into the swamps 5 miles inland.
The earliest ever was May 27th, 219 BC. Prove me wrong!
“Ping for historical accuracy.”
Is that sarcasm?
I’d ping it for historical inaccuracy because a massive hurricane hit Galveston, TX in 1900 and tore through America up past Maine.
A fascinating book was written on it: “Isaac’s Storm: A Man, A Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History” by Erik Larson.
There have been hurricanes making landfall on the US forever.
