"They are in their 80s and 90s now, much of their memories fogged by time, but even 75 years later, the details come flooding back. The sting of the wind whipping their faces. The look of terror in the eyes of their parents. The desperation that held them to broken planks or fallen trees as entire buildings tumbled in the raging floodwaters. But it is the bodies that haunt the survivors of the worst storm in Florida history." (SUN-SENTINEL) This article describes the devastation caused by the 1928 hurricane that killed between 2,500 and 3,000 people in Florida.
