Category 5: The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane
"A gripping account.... Winds were so strong that they tore babies from the arms of their parents. Over four hundred people lost their lives, including over two hundred veterans of World War I. It was a tragedy that did not have to happen." - John Wallace Viele, author of The Florida Keys: A History of the Pioneers "Makes for fascinating reading about a period of time when science, politics, and nature converged, resulting in disaster." - Rodney E. Dillon Jr., Vice President, Past Perfect Florida History, Inc."
