On September 16-17, 1928. It churned across the Everglades to giant, shallow Lake Okeechobee, where uncounted thousands of migrant workers were harvesting fall crops. A flimsy mud dike erected to hold back the lake was no match for the storm. The dike gave way, drowning thousands of migrants. It was estimated that at least 3,000 died that in Florida, and some claim the number of deaths was higher.
The body of the dead were buried in mass graves, others were buried by the shore of the lake where they were found since they had decomposed so badly, and many others were never found as their bodies were flung out into the Everglades. It is no surprise that so many stories of shadowy beings on the shore of Lake Okeechobee are seen every year, especially on the anniversary of this deadly Hurricane which is September 17th.

HOW STORMS ARE NAMED
The storm was named the San Felipe II Hurricane because the eye of the cyclone made landfall on the Christian feast day of Saint Philip. It was named "Segundo", Spanish for "the Second", because of another destructive "San Felipe hurricane" which struck Puerto Rico on that same day in 1876. Since European arrival in the Americas in 1492, all storms and hurricanes were named after the name of the saint of the day the storm hit Puerto Rico. In 1953 the United States started naming hurricanes by female names until 1978 when both gender names began to be used. Yet it was only in 1960 that hurricanes stopped being officially named after saints.
