The 1920s was a time of boom and bust in the city of Fort Lauderdale. Developers, land speculators, tourists and new residents caused the city's population to soar. Then a deadly hurricane blows over the city in 1926, catching everyone off-guard. Followed by another deadly storm in 1928 and the stock market crash of 1929, the city of Fort Lauderdale faced bankruptcy and receivership. But by the end of the decade, the city is recovering, with a new airport, and thriving shipping port and plans for a brighter future.

Historic photographs and vintage newspaper articles and headlines bring the story of Whirlwinds! How the !920s Built and Nearly Destroyed Fort Lauderdale to life. Please note, the contents may not be appropriate for young readers.
