Book Details

Title: Storm of the Century:
Author: Willie Drye
Format: Trade Paperback
Published: National Geographic Society, 2002
Price: $14.00

The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 was the most powerful hurricane to ever hit the United States and a defining event in the history of Islamorada, Florida. Willie Drye's well-researched book is driven by an intense narrative that takes the reader back to 1935 to experience firsthand the hurricane and the lives it affected. More than a history, Storm of the Century reads like a carefully-crafted suspense novel, but it is all the more enjoyable because the story is true and the characters were real.
