The 1926 season was an average one but was very eventful. The first storm of the season was a Category 2 hurricane that made landfall near Melbourne, Florida. The next was a Category 3 that grazed Bermuda and struck Nova Scotia as an extratropical cyclone. The third struck Louisiana as a Category 2. Another Category 3 made a loop around the Azores. A Category 4 had a direct hit on Bermuda. The most notable storm of all though, was the Great Miami Hurricane. It struck Miami dead on as a Category 4 hurricane. The storm surge tore through the city, gutting homes and businesses. Lines of people were washed away. The siren song sung by the calm of the eye proved fatal for many, for the second half of the storm was worse than the first. Over 200 people were killed in Florida alone and several dozen more were killed when the hurricane skimmed the Gulf coasts of the Florida Panhandle, Alabama, and Mississippi. The Great Miami was one of only three hurricanes to ever come so close to perfect storm status. It ranks as by far the costliest hurricane in history, dealing over $100 million in damage in 1926 dollars. If adjusted for 2003 inflation and increased population density, the Great Miami would dwarf Hurricane Andrew in cost with a bill of over $98 billion.
