1935 News Reel from Road Construction in the Keys

k. this one is creepy because 1935 was the year of the Labor Day Hurricane that wiped out Islamorada. 200 mph winds driving water that destroyed the road you see under construction. They sent the train down to evacuate the workers but it never made it back to the mainland.



Here is a pictorial of the construction and of the damage after the hurricane.
