An eyewitness report;
“A ninety-foot wave [crashed over him in his lighthouse]. The mounded wave reared its ugly head across The Hawk Channel. The hurricane smashed it down on a narrow ten miles of Keys from Tavernier to Key Vaca. The wind was flung like knives, 150 to 200 miles an hour, with unbelievable gusts climbing to nearly 250 miles per hour that took everything it willed and flattened and flung it.”
The US National Weather Service issued a summary of event:
“Officially, 408 lives were taken by the great Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, most of them World War I veterans working in the Keys where the hurricane made its first landfall. The second landfall at Cedar Key saw 3 deaths and widespread damage."
