List of Florida hurricanes (1900–1949)
The list of Florida hurricanes from 1900 to 1949 encompasses 108 Atlantic tropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, tropical cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in about $4 billion (2008 USD) in damage. Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were directly responsible for about 3,550 fatalities during the time period, most of which from the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane. The 1947 season was the year with the most tropical cyclones affecting the state, with a total of 6 systems. The 1905, 1908, 1913, 1927, 1931, 1942, and 1943 seasons were the only years during the time period in which a storm did not affect the Floridan coasts.
The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, which also bears the distinction of being the strongest recorded hurricane to strike the United States.[1] Several other major hurricanes struck the state during the time period, including the 1926 Miami hurricane, the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, and a cyclone each in 1945, 1947, 1948, and 1949. All of these storms made landfall as Category 4 hurricanes.

- September 17, 1928 – The 1928 Okeechobee hurricane makes landfall between Jupiter and Boca Raton as the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane, producing a storm surge of 10 feet and waves of up to 20 feet which causes severe damage near the coast. As it crosses the state, strongly northerly winds pile up water from Lake Okeechobee at its southern end, which surpasses the levee and floods a 450 mi2 (1165 km2) area up to 12 feet (3.6 m) deep. The flooding, which lasts for several weeks, causes severe loss of human and animal life; damage in the state is estimated at $25 million (1928 USD, $315 million 2008 USD). The death toll is unknown, but is estimated at over 2,500 fatalities, making the cyclone the third deadliest hurricane in American history.
- September 28, 1929 – A major hurricane crosses the southern portion of the state, and two days later hits near Apalachicola.[36] The cyclone produces several tornadoes in the Miami area, and despite its ferocity overall damage is minor; three people are killed in association with the storm.[37]
1930–1939
[edit]- August 9, 1930 – The second tropical storm of the season crosses through the center of the state; as it previously crossed the mountainous terrain of the Greater Antilles, the storm is severely weakened, and causes no reported serious damage in the state.[38]

A pressure of 892 mbar (26.35 inHg) is recorded at landfall, which at the time is the lowest reported pressure in the Western Hemisphere. A small but violent cyclone, the hurricane results in almost complete destruction over a distance of about 30 miles (48 km), much of it caused from its powerful storm surge. One estimate by the Red Cross indicates 409 fatalities in the Florida Keys, many of whom at war veteran work relief camps. It later hits near Cedar Key as a major hurricane, where it causes further damage and flooding.[47][48]
- September 28, 1935 – Passing a short distance of Miami, a major hurricane produces moderate winds, but there is little damage along the coast.[48][49]
