The most powerful hurricane in United States history assaulted the Florida Keys in 1935, one of the darkest years of the Great Depression. With winds surpassing 200 miles an hour and a storm surge topping 20 feet, the “Storm of the Century” killed more than 400 people in a two-day span, devastating small villages and killing hundreds of World War I veterans working on a federally sponsored project—and kicking up a far-reaching political storm of acrimony and controversy in its wake.

More About Storm of the Century: The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935
Ideally, I would say this book is a 4 1/2 star book but I am giving it the benefit of 5 stars since I can't do that. I love books about natural disasters and this one was very well researched. It is an exiting read and very hard to put down. I tend to like storm porn. This falls in that genre. It does a good job of following those impacted by the storm and the history of the storm. The first few chapters are hard to sort through, but once the storm moves in, it draws you along nicely. I LEAVE FOR FLORIDA ON THURSDAY. REC RECS FOR BOOKS I SHOULD PUT ON MY KINDLE FOR MY WEEK AT THE BEACH! NOTHING DEPRESSING OR THAT REQUIRES REAL EFFORT TO READ, HOBVIOUSLY. SINCE YOU'LL BE IN THE AREA, THE LABOR DAY HURRICANE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE LOCAL HISTORY TOPICS.
