	1928 Okeechobee Hurricane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Okeechobee Hurricane or Hurricane San Felipe Segundo was a deadly hurricane that struck the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Florida in September of the 1928 Atlantic hurricane season.
		It was the first recorded hurricane to reach Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale in the Atlantic basin; as of September 09, 2006, it remains the only recorded hurricane to strike Puerto Rico at Category 5 strength, and one of the ten most intense ever recorded to make landfall in the United States.
		In Florida, although the hurricane destroyed everything in its path with impartiality, the death toll was by far highest in the economically poor areas in the low-lying ground right around Lake Okeechobee.

	Hurricane Andrew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hurricane Andrew was the second most destructive hurricane in U.S. history, and the final of three Category 5 hurricanes to make landfall in the United States in the 20th century.
		Rapid strengthening occurred, with Andrew reaching hurricane strength (sustained winds greater than 74 mph) on the 22nd and Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale on the 23rd, peaking with 175 mph (280 km/h) winds and a minimum pressure of 922 mbar (hPa).
		These rumors were probably based on the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, when the deaths of migrant workers initially went uncounted, and were still debated at the time of Andrew.

	Hurricane of 1928
		On Sept. 16, 1928, the only thing between the wood frame Boots home and the massive lake was 300 feet and a 4-foot dike constructed of mud.
		In the event of a powerful hurricane, to take pressure off the dike, water would be pumped in large volume out of the lake through the wide St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee canals and into the sea.

		This hurricane changed the whole shape and future of South Florida, tested the state's mettle (which was found wanting in many ways) and more or less declared the future of the Everglades ecosystem, in that Lake Okeechobee would never again be allowed to become so unruly and deadly.
		The multi-billion-dollar Everglades Restoration Project still has to deal with the consequences of this 1928 hurricane, the dubious gift of having TOO much water, and what to do if you want to farm or build a condominium on land that used to be submerged.

		On the night of September 16, 1928, a ferocious hurricane ripped across West Palm Beach and the Everglades, busted Lake Okeechobee through its flimsy muck dike, and killed at least 2,500 people--about 5 percent of the population of Palm Beach County.
		Three-fourths of the 1928 victims were poor and fl; their corpses were doused in crude oil and burned in grisly roadside pyres, or tossed into mass graves and promptly forgotten.

		People in the towns around Lake Okeechobee knew an intense storm was on the ocean, but the forecasts were conflicting and communications were primitive.
		The storm was and still is one of the most intense hurricanes ever -- among those whose barometric pressures were recorded -- and it was a huge one, as rainy as it was windy.
		By the time its eye reached Lake Okeechobee, the hurricane was powerful enough to blow most of the water out of the shallow basin, which all the while was being flooded by the overflowing Kissimmee River to the north.
