The Storm of 1928
By: Fatima

The unnamed storm of September 1928 marked my life. Everything was destroyed. My house, along with many others, was broken into pieces.

Buildings and stores were now on the floor. All that was left was boards of wood.

Nobody had a home where to live. Many people drowned from the flood like my mother, father, and my brother. The survivors, like me, had no place to go.

Trucks were floating in the water. We used boats to move around.

My father, brother, and many other dead bodies were stacked up in coffins. Some bodies were burned, and some were never found, like my mother.

The coffins were put into trucks once the water was gone. The trucks took the bodies to cemeteries all over palm beach county.

After the hurricane had passed and the bodies were gone they started building new houses to live in.

A statue was built in Belle Glade in memory of the unnamed storm of 1928.
