Florida Ravaged by Massive Hurricane Disaster
A powerful hurricane swept from the Caribbean across the Keys and Florida's coast into Georgia, killing an estimated 500 people including about 300 veterans in labor camps. Many buildings were demolished, and a relief train was wrecked while evacuations began. The storm caused severe damage along the west coast, triggering investigations by Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines and Harry Hopkins into preparation failures. Rescue operations by ships, coast guard cutters, and Red Cross relief teams continued as Italy over Ethiopia dispute drew international notice at the League of Nations.
