| HURRICANE OF 1928 LECTURE |
admin writes, " Jupiter, FL: The Loxahatchee River Historical Society is pleased to
announce the first free historic lecture of the fall with Robert Mykle,
author of Killer ‘Cane: The Deadly Hurricane of 1928, on Thursday,
September 18 at 6 pm at the Jupiter Community Center, 210 Military
Trail. Mykle will talk about his book and the devastating history of
the great Florida hurricane.
One of the deadliest storms in American history, the hurricane rampaged
through Florida on September 16, 1928 and killed thousands of people in
a single night and left several towns in ruins. Robert Mykle’s account
of the hurricane presents the stories of the survivors and those less
fortunate. Based on extensive archival research and interviews,
Killer ‘Cane reveals how the disaster was made even worse by ignorance
and prejudices of the day.
Robert Mykle has written for the Cape Cod Times, the Palm Beach Post,
and numerous other publications. He lives in Lake Worth, Florida.
