Today is the 74 year anniversary of the strongest landfalling hurricane in US history! It struck near Long Key, FL at a record pressure of 892mb (Craig Key, FL) on September 2nd 1935... Actually the pressure may have been a little lower at landfall but that's the lowest officially recorded... Winds were at times well over 200-mph which is just crazy! I'm been to Florida Keys a few times and I always stop at the hurricane monument (Islamorada) on the way down to Key West! I highly recommend everyone to check it out one-day! Here is some very interesting articles and personal stories on this historic storm...
