This month's issue of Georgia Backroads has a really interesting article about the hurricane of 1898 that struck coastal Georgia. Pictures of the damage to downtown Brunswick, among other things. Thought you might want to check it out if you could find one.

Thanks- this is a print publication? If so, I'll have to look for it.

The house we're in survived what locals called "The Great Hurricane." A building I used to rent at 1329 Newcastle Street had watermarks in the bricks at about eye level, where the waters had risen during that storm.

Georgia Backroads is a magazine. Occasionally I've seen it for sale at, say, Books-a-Million.

The article says that downtown Brunswick was under 16 feet of water after the storm, but the pictures show only 4-5 feet, it appears.

Excerpts of letters written at the time tell a terrifying tale.
