J.H. Loy Jr., Frank Whitt, Return Home from Miami, Say Experience Worse than Press Says, Sept. 29, 1926

The Half Has Not Been Told

Mr. J. H. Loy Jr., who was in Miami when the storm struck the city, and Mr. Frank Whitt, who was in Lantana, about 9 miles away, have returned home, and their description of this terrible event is thrilling. They say the half has never been told, and both place the number of dead far beyond the number given out by the press. That both came out without injury is sufficient cause for their thankfulness, and their people are gratified at their escape.
