Most Destructive Hurricane In 20 Years Strikes Florida
The most disastrous hurricane to strike Florida in 20 years. Wicked weather, damage estimated at $50,000,000. Racing in from the Caribbean, a tropical hurricane with wind speed up to 143 miles per hour, lashes the Florida Keys, then furiously rages through the streets of Miami. Hundreds are left homeless, giant palm trees are uprooted , streets are flooded, store fronts are blown in, and destructive fires are started. Thirty miles outside of Miami, the giant U.S. Navy Blimp Base at Richmond is severely damaged by the tropical twister. Three mammoth hurricane-proof hangars are wrecked, then destroyed by fire. Many are injured, 366 planes are destroyed and property loss is estimated at $35,000,000 at this one naval base.
