Every year, hurricanes seem to be increasingly severe and
unpredictable, ensuring that they remain one of the most frequent
topics of conversation in our everyday lives. The Great Bahamian
Hurricanes of 1926 provides the perfect introduction to the
complexities and dynamics of hurricanes. It focuses on how they
develop, what causes them to be so powerful, the history behind
them and how hurricanes affect us all. Wayne Neely tells the story
of three of the worst natural catastrophes in the history of the
Bahamas. However, this is not just the story of three big storms,
but also of the many Bahamians who had to endure them. The
individual stories of heroism and cowardice; tragedy and redemption
vividly bring these storms to life. Each hurricane season brings
with it a reminder that we are constantly subject to natural
occurrences over which we have no control. Through unique
historical photographs of actual damages from these three storms,
this book shows the widespread devastation that these storms
inflicted on the Bahamas. Drawing upon many newspaper accounts,
ship reports and Family Island Commissioners reports from
throughout the Bahamas, the author provides a fascinating glimpse
of these hurricanes as they devastated the Bahamas.
