One hundred years ago, an unexpected tempest roared ashore in Miami,

leaving destruction in its wake. Through gripping personal stories and rare vintage photographs, this book brings the forgotten hurricane vividly to life. Survivors recount moments of terror, resilience, and hope as they braved the storm's wrath and its aftermath. This devastating event proved to be a watershed moment for Miami, abruptly ending its overheated real estate boom and sending the city spiraling toward the Great Depression.

Blending history with deeply human experiences, this powerful narrative reveals how one devastating day reshaped a city-and the lives of those who endured it. An invaluable resource for Miami enthusiasts interested in exploring the city's turbulent past, it's also perfect for history fans, weather buffs, educators, and anyone drawn to stories of survival, courage, and resilience.

An extraordinary recounting of one of Miami's defining moments, and a must-read for anyone interested in the city's history. An especially timely release with the Centennial of this watershed moment coming up fast.

Reviews for Miami's Great Hurricane: September 18, 1926

""Energetically written and loaded with vintage photographs and illustrations, Miami's Great Hurricane is a thrill ride -- something you don't expect from historical nonfiction. These Floridians were smashed by a horrific hurricane without warning, at a time when FEMA was not around to help. The details of their ordeal are fascinating and inspiring."" -- Jerry Sprout, author.
