“Attendant winds on September 2 were of phenomenal violence as is shown by physical effects almost equivalent to those experienced in tornadoes. One observer reported his house partially demolished by a wind-driven beam, 6 by 8 inches in section and 18 feet long, which was blown 800 yards from another building; this occurred at a time nearly 3 hours in advance of arrival of the calm center. It was this observer’s impression that the winds were still more violent afterward. The lenses. and 3/8-inch protecting glass of Alligator Reef Lighthouse, 135 feet above sea level, were reported to have been completely destroyed by the hurricane; and it is unlikely that this destruction could have been produced by flying debris.It seems safe to estimate that winds of 150 to 200 miles per hour occurred near and over the Keys, with gusts probably exceeding 200 miles per hour.
Over # distance of about 30 miles, from the settlement of Tavernier (about 25°01’ N., 80°32’ W.) to Vaca Keys, the destruction of buildings, roads, viaducts, and bridges was practically complete.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!
