This book describes the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, the first Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the United States--devastating the Florida Keys. It documents the unpredictability of the storm and the failures of meteorologists to successfully track its progress. This is presented against a historical backdrop that includes a protest by World War I veterans over the building of the Overseas Highway and the economic effects of the Great Depression.
