James Spann @spann - ON THIS DATE IN 1935: One of the most powerful hurricanes in U.S. history slammed into the Florida Keys. The compact Category 5 storm had an estimated maximum sustained wind of 185 mph and a central pressure of 892 millibars—still the lowest pressure ever recorded at a U.S. hurricane landfall. The hurricane caused catastrophic damage in the upper Florida Keys, as a storm surge of approximately 18 to 20 feet (5.5 to 6.1 m) swept over the low-lying islands. The hurricane's strong winds and the surge destroyed nearly all the structures between Tavernier and Marathon. The town of Islamorada was obliterated. Portions of the Key West Extension of the Florida East Coast Railway were severely damaged or destroyed. In addition, many veterans died in work camps created for the construction of the Overseas Highway, in part due to poor working conditions. The hurricane also caused more damage in northwest Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. https://x.com/spann/status/2095098096891920453
