Miami’s Great Hurricane: September 18, 1926 by Karen Dustman is a compelling read. The author shares how her father, then just ten years old, experienced the hurricane when it struck Miami in September 1926. She vividly describes the aftermath: power outages that lasted, the tragic loss of life, and the immense destruction left in its wake.

In just one day, about 370 people died. Children lost their lives, premature babies were born under unimaginable circumstances, homes collapsed in the fierce winds, and storm surges carried away cherished belongings. Firsthand accounts included in the book make the devastation and grief of Miami’s residents feel strikingly real. Even basic necessities like fresh drinking water became scarce. Dustman also recounts a maritime tragedy in which only a ship’s engineer managed to survive.

This book will resonate with history lovers, weather enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Miami’s past. I’m grateful to the author for preserving and sharing this story. It was my first book about a hurricane and its aftermath, and it drew me in completely. I felt the pain of those who endured such horror. Karen’s writing style is powerful, and I truly hope she continues to write more books.
