No actually for my purposes Jim it was great. Doing research on an article for publication next year and it's research intensive and... the severity of the winter of 1925/26 in the South as well as the North gets lost in the roar of the wind of the 1926 Hurricane.
It affected the economy and helped to create a mini-recession during the height of the Roaring 20s when people traveled less and had less money to spend. Food prices rose.
Highways that brought people south in Model T Fords to Florida were a bit too frozen and dangerous for the drive and the mobile upper middle class was suddenly grounded in ice and snow. Sort of put a damper on Miami's Winter Tourist Season which made investors nervous even before the Hurricane of 26.
Seems the somewhat quiet hurricane season of 25 was followed by an extremely dangerous hurricane season of 26... in both Cuba and Florida.
Weather... always changing....often from one extreme to another.
And, really rarely do people mention the season in detail other than to reference it was one of the coldest winter seasons in recent history.
Will help ...gave me ideas.
Thank you Alligator Pointer! |
