The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 was a large and intense tropical cyclone that devastated the Greater Miami area of Florida and caused catastrophic damage in the Bahamas and the U.S. Gulf Coast in September 1926, accruing a US$100 million damage toll. The devastation wrought by the hurricane resulted in the end of Florida's land boom, and represented an early start to the Great Depression in the state. It has been estimated that a similar hurricane would cause about $235 billion in damage if it were to hit Miami in 2018. Here are some newspaper articles from that day: Miami-Dade County 1926 Hurricane MIAMI DEVASTATED AS THOUGH BY WAR RAILROAD MAN SAYS Environs and City Proper Described As Virtual Ruins Many of Dead Washed to Sea and Full Toll May Never Be KnownST. AUGUSTINE, Sept. 21.(A.P.) "If they told me there were 1,000 persons dead I would not doubt it," declared Harold W. Colee, manager of the public relations bureau of the Florida East Coast Railway, who reached here today from the stricken area. "War can be no more terrible than the devastation wrought. Miami is smashed, Coral Gables is wrecked, with virtually every home minus a roof. Hollywood is badly hurt, while Fort Lauderdale, Dania and Pompano are virtually leveled. "My wife and I were with relatives, my brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mickler. Another sister, Mrs. Joe Martinez, was taken to the Jackson hospital there shortly before midnight, and her little girl was born at five minutes before 12 o'clock Friday night. The storm began at 2:30 a. m. Saturday. It continued until 6:30, with the wind blowing at about 70 or 80 miles an hour. It was terrible beyond description. Our windows crashed in, falling tile from surrounding roofs crashed against our house and afterward we saw that these, blown by the wind with incredible velocity, made gashes in the house that an axe could not have made. My wife was badly cut on the arms by flying glass. Many Washed Into Sea."I do not believe any one will ever know the number of dead. Those coming across the causeway from Miami Beach, as the second and more deadly hurricane struck, must necessarily have been tossed into the bay with their automobiles. The beautiful little Islands in Biscayne bay have been swept clean. Miami Beach is whipped to virtually nothing. "The Meyer-Keiser building in Miami proper, 18 stories high, is so warped and twisted that it will have to be razed. The Columbus hotel's two top stories were lifted off. The McAlister hotel was badly damaged, but it is being used as an emergency hospital. The front of the Jackson hospital was blown out and the nurses' home was damaged. Patients in the damaged area of the hospital were moved Into the corridors. "Boats were In Royal Palm park. A five-masted schooner lay directly across Biscayne drive. The old cause-way has been badly damaged by a tanker which pounded into it. Repair Work Started."Conditions are improving down there now. Water has been turned on in some places. There are no electric lights, and as great poles were snapped off like little twigs and the wire in twisted balls or hanging in the street it will take some time to get lights and power, although construction gangs already are busy. "The Florida East Coast Railway has its tracks clear and is ready to do anything and everything to relieve the situation. We already have acted, sending doctors, nurses, supplies and we will do everything possible, leaving no stone unturned to give aid to those who need it so desperately." 2,000 INJURED WHILE 38,000 ARE HOMELESS IN EAST COAST CITIESBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Estimates of the number of dead in the hurricane which swept over lower Florida mounted to more than 1,000 late last night in revised figures from the storm stricken area. The casualty list in the Miami section, which bore the brunt of the storm's fury, was placed at 804 by Jerry H. Owen, general superintendent of the Florida East Coast Railway, at Jacksonville. He showed 500 dead in Miami, 250 in Hollywood and 54 in Hialeah, both of the latter places being suburbs of Miami. Property damage was estimated at between $25,000,000, and $125,000,000. Miami, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and the Moore Haven vicinity, 75 miles northwest of Miami, on Lake Okeechobee, were the heaviest sufferers. Forty white women and children were reported drowned in the lake region around Moore Haven and the death toll for that section was estimated at 140. Unconfirmed reports said bodies were strewn along the road between Moore Haven and Clewiston. The gale, reaching a velocity of 120 miles an hour at Miami Beach Saturday, whipped across the Everglades and had an estimated intensity of between 75 and 90 miles an hour when it passed over the West Coast into the gulf Sunday. The West Coast was spared casualties, but heavy damage was done to citrus fruit, growers and shippers said. With 38,000 persons in the smitten area homeless and the list of injured placed at more than 2,000, first efforts were directed at reaching the people with food and medical supplies. Miami was without drinking water from Friday evening until Sunday. Shipping in the Miami harbor was hard hit and thousands of buildings were reported damaged. Water was knee deep in the streets, persons arriving at West Palm Beach from Miami said. The storm raged for nine hours at Miami. A brief lull caused hundreds to venture forth, to breath in a second wind more terrific than the first. The Pullman Company offered its full resources in equipment to carry doctors, nurses, food, water and supplies to the stricken area, and the Red Cross put its entire facilities at the disposal of Governor Martin. The storm swept on across Fort Lauderdale, north of Miami, wrecking properly, which so far has not been estimated, and leaving a casually list placed at 100. The dead in Hollywood were placed at 12, at Dania 11, one at Ojus, one at Hialeah and-two at Hallendale, all in the vicinity of Miami. Homestead, 40 miles South of Miami, was credited with one dead. Property damage at Palm Beach and West Palm Beach was placed at $1,000,000. No loss of life was reported there. While the damage at Hollywood was unestimated, those familiar with that city said that in the last two years approximately $10,000,000 worth of building and development had been done there and that property loss must have been great. Fuel, water and medical supplies were urgently needed in the stricken cities and vicinity. The Associated Press staff correspondent in Miami was the first to reach the outside world with the story from the stricken city of Miami. He left that town at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon and traveled through woods and railroad tracks over which the water was flowing. In a blinding rain he proceeded on foot north to Fort Lauderdale. Telephone and telegraph poles and wires blocked the road, he walked the railroad track to Fort Lauderdale and slept in the Women's club with 50 refugees. There water was so scarce it was portioned out half a glass at a time. Frightened and anxious persons asked for information. The correspondent reached West Palm Beach today and sent his story to the Associated Press members. Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Fort Pierce and other places rushed medical aid, food and water to the storm area. The work was carried out under the direction of Chairman Slocum Ball, of the Red Cross committee. Governor Martin took immediate steps to alleviate conditions as soon as he learned of the severity of the situation. Advised that the American Red Cross had placed its entire facilities at his command, the governor asked that organization to direct the relief work. He also issued a special call for physicians to go with the relief workers. Hundreds of these, together with nurses and many civilians, went aboard special; trains tonight to be hurried into the Miami district. Relief trains were sent tonight also into the Moore Haven and Clewiston sections. 75 DEAD IN MIAMI GALE $100,000,000 LOSS VESSELS SUNK, DOCKS WRECKED BY STORM ON COAST OF FLORIDA Many Buildings Are DemolishedReport Troops And Supplies Are Needed Streets Flooded.BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. -- Seventy-Five known dead in Miami and property loss that probably will run into the hundreds of millions, was the toll of the storm that lashed the east coast on Friday and swept across the lower half of the state Saturday. All lines of direct communication with the storm-stricken portion of the state are down and no direct word has been received since about noon Saturday, when passengers on trains from West Palm Beach brought stories of terrific destruction there and farther south. Trains from the stricken area are delayed hours and only brief wireless communications with Miami through makeshift arrangement last night told of the destruction wrought to the largest city in south Florida. All south Florida shipping is suffering from the ravage of the 100-mile per hour winds that swept many small boats upon the coast and beached them. At Miami, the wireless report said that every boat in the harbor was sunk. Last direct communication with the hurricane area reported immense seas sweeping in from the Atlantic. With the causeway between Miami and Miami Beach three feet beneath the crest of breakers. SERVICE PARALYZED. The Postal Telegraph company reported 80 miles of telegraph poles down and their service paralyzed. The hurricane sweeping across the peninsula in the vicinity of Tampa unroofed houses and leveled trees. Unusually high tides swept many craft in the Tampa harbor inland leaving them stranded. Bradentown, Sarasota, Fort Myers and small villages in the vicinity were hard hit but extent of the damage will be unknown until communication is re-established. The Mississippi and Louisiana coasts but a few weeks ago swept by a lashing hurricane, are preparing for another blow today, as the Florida hurricane is sweeping that way, weather bureau advices say. All shipping in the gulf has been warned and smaller vessels are seeking shelter in bays and inlets. Larger vessels were still sailing on schedule yesterday. Mobile, Ala., Sept. 18.(A. P.)Seventy-five known dead, property loss of $100,000,000 in the city and every boat in the harbor sunk, was the toll of the hurricane which struck Miami today, according to fragmentary messages picked up by the Tropical Radio Telegraph company station here tonight. The station is working the American steamship Siboney, which has established communication with a makeshift transmitting plant at Hialeah. Every vestige of the city dock system was swept away and 2,000 buildings ruined, said the messages which added that troops, food and medical supplies are needed urgently. New Orleans, Sept. 19.(A.P.)The following message was received here early this morning by the Tropical Radio station from Miami. "Miami is in ruins after worst hurricane in history of country, seventy known dead. Property damage $100,000,000. More than 2,000 buildings destroyed, including bank building and Miami Tribune. ''City docks completely destroyed and all boats in harbor sunk, including steamship Nohaba, formerly owned by ex-Kaiser of Germany. "Food, medical supplies and troops needed." The message was sent from a makeshift radio station in Miami after the six 450-foot towers of the Tropical Radio station there had been blown down. The message was intended for the steamship Siboney, the closest vessel to Miami, but was picked up by the Tropical station at Mobile and relayed to New Orleans. The Siboney was requested to broadcast the news of the disaster. The local station said that the message was received at Mobile at about 11:30 last night. Officials at the station are of the opinion that the blow hit Miami Friday night or early yesterday morning, since they have been unable to establish connection with there since Friday night. The Miami Tribune building, reported in a wireless message to the Tropical radio station, at New Orleans, as having been destroyed by the hurricane, was a cement structure reinforced by steel, and regarded as one of the more substantial of the buildings in downtown Miami. The building was located on Southeast First street, three blocks from the waterfront and a half block from the Florida East Coast railway station. Reports that the bank building had been destroyed disclosed the tremendous damage was done in the heart of the business and financial district. The two largest banks in Miami are located on Flagler street, several blocks from the waterfront and protected by other buildings.

EAST COAST DEVASTATED.[By Associated Press.]WEST PALM BEACH, FLA., Sept. 19.Florida's lower East Coast today lay devastated, a victim of the elements, after the most disastrous hurricane in her history had cut a sixty-mile path through the area, taking an unestimated loss in human life and wreaking destruction amounting high in the millions of dollars.Untold suffering has been left in its wake, with thousands of homes leveled and innumerable families seeking relief in any form. The situation generally was characterized as appalling, and throughout the section no attempt was made to identify any bodies, as medical aid was administered to hundreds of injured persons.Urgent Appeals BroadcastUrgent appeals were sent from here today to Governor John W. Martin, petitioning martial law and requesting immediate relief.. Arrival of newspaper men from Miami at noon occasioned the dispatch several hours later of a train bearing doctors, nurses and sufficient supplies, including water, which has been at a premium.Sweeping in from the Bahamas Friday midnight, the hurricane descended with fury on Miami, centering during the greater part of the nine hours which it raged and veered northward to carve a path of desolation in Hollywood and its vicinity, twelve miles to the north. Miami bore the brunt of the damage through the area in property losses, but increasing fatalities, in the region between Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale indicated that loss of life would be largest here.Storm Rages for Hours.Rain began falling in Miami soon after midnight, attended by rising winds and a slow barometric decline. The storm advanced alarmingly, and by 1 o'clock the wind had attained a velocity of sixty-five miles an hour, and a barometer reading of 28.84.

The force of this latter storm was more intense than its predecessor and raged unabated for two hours.Miami's bay front was subjected to a terrific battering, as the violent windstorm struck from a more dangerous angle. The bay crept high over its accustomed level and raced like a mill pond waist deep from the Miami River northward to the county causeway.[Richmond Times Dispatch Monday September 20, 1926 Page 5] CALLS OUT NATIONAL GUARD [By Universal Service] TALLAHASSEE.

Connor, Jr..Universal Service Staff Correspondent JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Sept. 19.At least 300 known dead, more than 15,000 homeless, probably, another thousand bodies under the wreckage, homes and office buildings torn down by the hundreds, lack of food, water and sanitation facilities threatening a famine and pestilence and a near panic confronting the populace.This was the picture drawn tonight by the first survivors of the southern Florida hurricane to reach here from Miami.USE HOTEL AS MORGUE.Harry Otto, of Philadelphia, formerly a Miami Beach policeman, told Universal Service, in an exclusive interview, upon his arrival here tonight that, when he left "the Magic City," the McAllister Hotel was being used as a morgue and contained almost 300 bodies. Otto was starting from Miami to Coral Gables when the storm struck shortly after midnight Saturday morning. Beaten back by the storm. Otto returned to Miami after seeing the first devastation at Coral Gables.At Miami Otto witnessed the destruction of homes overturned by the storms.The larger hotels were flooded and several of them are in danger of collapse, according: to Otto.Shoot Negro Looters.The militia, is guarding as well as possible, but white and Negro marauders are attempting to pillage the ruins." Otto said. "Six Negroes were shot this morning as they attempted to loot debris."Otto said three ocean liners were safe in the Miami harbor, although they were badly battered by the storm.Otto said he saw hundreds of people on the street of Miami yesterday wearing bandages with wounds. Rainwater is being used to make coffee, which sells for 15 cents a cup at street corner stands.The first train to leave Miami after the storm carried Otto, he declared, and there are thousands of persons attempting to get North as soon as possible. Torn Down by Storm.The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller, friends of Otto's from Philadelphia, was torn down by the storm at Coral Gables.The Dolphin, Everglades, Miami, Tamiami and the Ritz Hotels at Miami were flooded, but are not in danger of collapse, Otto said.From Thirteenth Street to Fifty-ninth Street, one of the main residential districts there, not a home remains without being damaged.Roney Plaza, one of the most exclusive hotels, was practically destroyed by the storm. The fashionable Fleetwood Hotel had almost every window in it broken. Boats Carried Away.Large boats were carried three miles from water by the storm.At Hialeah, eighty-seven bodies had been recovered by last night, according to Otto. Newspapers at Miami issued bulletins from a hand-press Saturday and Sunday containing brief notes of the storm. Miami Beach causeway is impassable, one end of it being broken through.The Biltmore Hotel at Coral Gables is still standing, although heavily damaged by storm. Starts Relief Work.James M. Lester, of Athens, Ga. another passenger, told of seeing the relief work started.George A. Kerlor. of Philadelphia, said he tract one of the first to set on the train which arrived here tonight, just before militia started regulating those who wished to board the train.J. O. Sallee, of Atlanta, vice-president of the Michigan Valve and Foundry Company, was inclined to hope that the reports of loss of life were exaggerated. He did not minimize the property loss, however. Thought Blow Was Over."I was at the El Commodore Hotel during the whole storm." he said. "It blew heavily during the early hours of the morning, and I am told that considerable damage was done throughout the city. About 6:30 o'clock many of the guests at the hotel who had been kept awake by the driving rain and wind and gathered in the lobbies and corridors, retired to their rooms."All of us thought the blow was over. At 7:30 it came again. The wind, at first in the north, veered to the south, and the experience was thrilling. For eight hours it continued, and the noise of crashing terra cotta and brick and the banging of falling signs was terrific."The whole side of the El Commodore was blown in. By that I mean that window frames were blown with the glass into the rooms and the floors inundated. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that there was not a whole pane of plate glass left in the business section. Building Is StrippedA new twenty-story building was stripped to the steel frame for nine stories. Oh, the property loss is plenty. A hundred million dollars?Well, I hardly think that would be an exaggeration for the whole district. There has been much flimsy construction in that district, and there are roofs and shattered houses all of the way from Miami to West Palm Beach."I believe and hope the death toll is not as great as was first thought.I did not get around the city much. It is a fact that some big ship is lying high and dry in Royal Palm Park."[Richmond Times Dispatch Monday September 20, 1926] MIAMI APPEALS FOR STORM RELIEF FROM ALL NATIONWork of Recovering the Bodies Still Imprisoned In Debris Goes OnSTORIES OF HEROISM TOLD BY SURVIVORSMiami Fla., Sept. 22.Prostrate under the ravages of the tropical hurricane and with suffering among the injured and homeless almost indescribable, Miami and Florida's storm area today applied to the American people for a vast sum for relief and rehabilitation work. The message went, out immediately after Henry M. Baker, national director of disaster relief for the Red Cross, arrived here and took charge of relief work in all of the stricken districts of Florida. It was signed by an executive committee headed by Frank B. Shutts, publisher of the Miami Herald.While awaiting a response to its urgent cry for help the city, with the aid of federal, state and other agencies went doggedly ahead with its relief work. Thousands of doctors, nurses, soldiers, sailors, marines and other relief workers labored to care for the injured and the homeless and to recover the dead still imprisoned in many of the five thousand homes that were wrecked and in the debris littered waters of Biscayne bay.Force Is Inadequate.The force on hand is proving inadequate for the task. Red Cross Quarters announced that additional nurses are urgently needed as well as serums for use in preventing epidemics. Airplanes have been bringing in antitoxins, and as fast as they arrive they are sent northward again for additional suppliesMrs. Bryan Owen was found today washing dishes in the kitchen of the Tallman hospital. Hospital attendants said she had been at that post for two days. Other society leaders were in the kitchens or in the wards at hospitals.Refugees from the outlying districts are being brought into the city. Out of the Everglades this morning struggled a band of 50 Seminole Indians, who had been without substantial food since Saturday. They reported that a number of their fellows had been killed or had died from exposure.After sailors had taken 16 bodies from wrecked launches and yachts in the harbor, three hundred men were put to work today along the two miles of water front. Each man was armed with a grappling hook. The first that splashed through the debris covering the waters found a body.Survivors tell tales of heroism. Searchers found that one sailor had lashed his wife to a tree on an island to keep her from being blown into the sea while he went in search of aid. He started swimming Biscayne bay. Yesterday his body was recovered.There is the story, too, of one man who struggled for miles with a wounded man on his back. Both are now in the morguethe one bled to death while the other died of exhaustion. Rescue Work Slow,The bodies are slowly being recovered. Three more were taken to the morgue today, bringing the accounted for dead in Miami alone to 97. Hundreds and hundreds were injured, many seriously, and they are being cared for in regular or emergency hospitals and at relief stations.In the city and its suburbs hammers pound night and day. Temporary roofs go up every few minutes. Carpenters jump from one job to another that shelter may be provided for the thousands of homeless.One rumor had it that the Miami News tower was leaning at an angle of 20 degrees. That now celebrated edifice, however, suffered only slight damage.Accurate figures as to the total known dead had not been compiled last night, but rescuers said this total will exceed four hundred. As isolated colonies were reached in the Everglades and elsewhere the number of injured was gradually increased until the total had mounted to around six thousand.
