The Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928 | American Experience
In the summer of 1928, heavy rainfall raised Lake Okeechobee’s water level three feet above normal. That fall, a hurricane smashed the coast of Florida, and the impact flooded Lake Okeechobee. The inland flood obliterated 21 miles of the 47-mile earthen and an estimated 2,500 people died in Southern Florida, most of them migrant farm workers.

The hurricane of 1928 killed as many as 3,000 people in Florida when it made landfall on September 16, 1928 – 96 years ago today. This monster storm left its mark on our communities: it’s the reason that Lake Okeechobee is surrounded by a dike, and the story behind this mass burial site in West Palm Beach. Historian and author Eliot Kleinberg tells the story of how thousands of lives were lost in what he calls “the most underreported natural disaster in American history.” Nearly 700 Black victim

On October 1-2, 1893, a Category 4 hurricane struck southeastern Louisiana with 130 mph winds and a devastating storm surge that reached 20 feet in some areas. The storm appeared suddenly in the Gulf of Mexico, giving coastal communities virtually no warning. Chenière Caminada, a fishing village of 1,500 residents, was submerged under 8 feet of water within minutes—over half its population died, and only four of 450 homes survived. The hurricane killed approximately 2,000 people across Louisiana
