“It is not in anyway historically accurate. The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 definitely hit the FL Keys.”

Right! Not to mention the great hurricane of 1937 (Catherine Hepburn was in it).

And my mom talked about Hurricane Donna in 1960 and there was a big one in the 50’s (can’t remember the name).

I think you mean the September 21st 1938 New England hurricane.

Good documentary on this storm

Violent Earth: New England's Killer Hurricane of 1938

Most weather forecasters at the time didn’t believe a hurricane would land that far north. And this was before radar and satellites, depending mostly on reports from ships at sea.
