Anniversary of 1928 Powerful Hurricane

[cycloneye]

The 1928 hurricane named San Felipe in Puerto Rico caused over 300 deaths and extensive damage to crops and houses.It made landfall as a category 5 cane (Only cat 5 so far to make landfall in PR) I am sure that many will come here and post about the landfalls in Guadeloupe,PR,Bahamas and Florida.My father experienced it in Old San Juan and it was a horrific one he said to me as in the dark with no water those cat 5 winds hollowed thru the buildings and the sound of the winds was very loud.

Excellent post HUC as usual always a pleasure to read you! Yeah that was the big one, extremely powerfull cane!!! That was a disaster in Guadeloupe, even worst in PR as you mentionned it Luis!

I'm glad to read the reports of Alain Gillot-Pétré during this event in " Le 12 Septembre 1928, roman d'un Cyclone" and in my personnal book " Les cyclones en Guadeloupe, 4 siècles de cataclysmiques, 2003". This guy have well described this feature in many aspects! I have a special thought for this member of the ADO, and its family, we really have lost a passionnate personn, pretty interresting a rainbow of hapiness, joy given its personnality. Sure you have known him better than me HUC and it's an euphemisma... because i've never meet this special man! When i discover its presence on a few books, that's was its ultimate year of life December 1999...Hopefully the membres of the ADO have kept all his works intact and it's a very good news for the future.
Nice regards Gustywind for the ADO's family
