Abstract

This paper reexamines two historic South Florida hurricanes, the “Miami” Hurricane of 1926, and the “Okeechobee” Hurricane of 1928. These storms are frequently cited for their disastrous impacts, but the casualty figures currently associated with them are low due to underreporting of nonwhite persons and other sociological factors. More accurate information is available, and to put the impact of these storms in a better historical perspective, the casualty figures associated with them should be corrected.
