Killer Cane - The Deadly Hurricane of 1928
After a murderous journey through the Caribbean and the Bahamas, a Category
Four hurricane hit Palm Beach, Florida, on September 16, 1928 that left nearly
2,400 people dead in its wake. The storm decimated large swaths of land, while
a 17-foot storm surge sent water roaring through the neighboring towns of
Chosen, Belle Glade, and South Bay. The deadliest hurricane in Florida
history, it is surpassed in the United States only by the Great Galveston
hurricane of 1990.Robert Mykle shows how the residents of the
Everglades believed prematurely that they had tamed nature, and how racial
attitudes at the time compounded the disaster.
