The 1935 "Labor Day" hurricane that hit the Keys near Islamorada to this day is the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. It had the lowest barometric pressure ever and the winds were so severe that wind measuring instruments were blown away. My mother, a native of Key West, had several family members there to celebrate the holiday and were lost, never seen again.

And don't forget the 1900 Galveston hurricane that caused between 6 and 8 thousand deaths. So, this talk today is stupid.

The older I get, the more people born in the 90's and up do I meet. They all have this inclination to think all history and things significant started at that time. It is shocking and sad. I have learned just as much through my grandparents and what they had to endure especially with natural disasters, wars and economic collapse. We need to keep carrying that knowledge. EVERYTHING today is hyperbole,agenda and sheer idiocy.
