Part 5/8:
An essential event discussed in depth is the great hurricane of 1928, a calamity that devastated the area and resulted in massive loss of life. Initially, 1,800 deaths were reported, but later records suggest the toll may have been as high as 2,500. The horror of this event is memorialized in both history and in A Land Remembered, particularly through the character’s experiences, making it a poignant reminder of the lake's past.
