Speaker – “The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926”

One hundred years ago, an unexpected tempest roared ashore in Miami, leaving destruction in its wake. Local historian and author, Karen Dustman, will share gripping personal stories passed down from her father, who was among the survivors, recounting 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.

This one weather event affected not only the state of Florida, but left it’s mark nationwide in one way or another.
