Description:

Killer 'Cane takes place in the Florida Everglades, which was still a newly settled frontier in the 1920s. On the night of September 16, 1928, a category 4 hurricane swung up from Puerto Rico and collided, quite unexpectedly, with Palm Beach, killing over 2,500 people in Florida alone, making it the second deadliest storm in U.S. history.
