1875 storm swept away Indianola’s lighthouses, along with the lighthouse keepers. Another destructive storm hit in 1886. On October 4, 1887, the post office in Indianola was permanently closed and the town declared “dead”.

Until recently my wife’s grandparents had a house in Indianola, and in one storm the roof of a nearby house lifted off and hit their house, ripping a big hole in it.

Looking at that big hole brought home the enormity of it all. It scared me.
