The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 was a large and intense tropical cyclone that devastated the Greater Miami area and caused catastrophic damage in the Bahamas and the U.S. Gulf Coast in September of the year 1926, accruing a US$100 million damage toll. As a result of the devastation wrought by the hurricane in Florida, the Land Boom in Florida ended. The hurricane represented an early start to the Great Depression in the aftermath of the state's 1920s land boom. It has been estimated that a similar hurricane would cause about $235 billion in damage if it were to hit Miami in 2018.

  • The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 was a large and intense tropical cyclone that devastated the Greater Miami area and caused catastrophic damage in the Bahamas and the U.S. Gulf Coast in September of the year 1926, accruing a US$100 million damage toll. As a result of the devastation wrought by the hurricane in Florida, the Land Boom in Florida ended. The hurricane represented an early start to the Great Depression in the aftermath of the state's 1920s land boom. It has been estimated that a similar hurricane would cause about $235 billion in damage if it were to hit Miami in 2018. The tropical cyclone is believed to have formed in the central Atlantic Ocean on September 11. Steadily strengthening as it tracked west-northwestward, the tropical storm reached hurricane intensity the next day. As a result of scattered observations at open sea, however, no ship encountered the storm until September 15, by which time the cyclone had reached major hurricane intensity north of the Virgin Islands. Strengthening continued up until the following day, when the storm reached peak intensity with a strength equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. This intensity was maintained as the storm tracked across the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas to landfall near Miami on September 18. The cyclone caused immense destruction throughout the islands and across southern Florida. The storm destroyed hundreds of structures in its path over the islands, leaving thousands of residents homeless. At least 17 deaths occurred on the islands, though many others—some related only indirectly to the storm—were reported in the aftermath. Upon striking South Florida, the cyclone generated hurricane-force winds over a broad swath of the region, causing widespread and severe structural damage from both wind and water. Most of the deaths occurred near Lake Okeechobee, when a large storm surge breached muck dikes and drowned hundreds of people. The hurricane quickly traversed the Florida peninsula before emerging into the Gulf of Mexico near Fort Myers. The storm flooded surrounding communities and barrier islands, while strong winds downed trees and disrupted electrical service. The storm later made two landfalls with weaker intensities on Alabama and Mississippi on September 20 and 21, respectively. The storm caused additional but less severe damage in those states, primarily from heavy rains and storm surge. Land interaction caused the cyclone to deteriorate and later dissipate on September 22.

  • L’ouragan de 1926 à Miami était un cyclone tropical important et intense qui a dévasté la région du Grand Miami et causé d’importants dégâts aux Bahamas et sur la côte américaine du golfe du Mexique en septembre 1926, causant pour 100 millions de dollars de dégâts. L'ampleur des dégâts en Floride marqua le début précoce de la Grande Dépression au lendemain de la bulle immobilière des années 1920 en Floride. Selon des estimations un ouragan similaire causerait environ 235 milliards de dollars US de dégâts s'il devait toucher Miami en 2018. Le cyclone a provoqué d'immenses dégâts sur toutes les îles et dans le sud de la Floride. La tempête a détruit des centaines de structures sur son passage sur les îles, laissant des milliers de résidents sans abri. Au moins 17 morts y ont été relevés, bien que de nombreux autres — certains liées indirectement à la tempête — aient été signalées plus tard. Lorsqu’il a frappé le sud de la Floride, le cyclone a généré des vents ouragans sur une large étendue de la région, causant des dommages structurels étendus et graves, tant à cause du vent que de l’eau. La plupart des décès ont eu lieu près du lac Okeechobee, lorsqu'une forte onde de tempête a percé des digues de boue et a noyé des centaines de personnes. (fr)

  • We had never been through a hurricane in 1926, when we experienced our first one. ... We didn't know that all windows should be covered in a hurricane. ... I was watching as railroad cars were being knocked off the tracks and telegraph poles were snapped like toothpicks. ...[Immediately] almost all the windows on the top floor were broken. (en)
  • Waves several feet high were rolling up Las Olas Boulevard, which had the appearance of a river rather than a street. ... Practically the entire town was covered with three feet of water. (en)
