There was one in the Keys in 1935 that was even more powerful I believe,

Is that the one that destroyed Flager's railroad that used to go from Miami to Key West?

Yes, that was the one. I am wrong though, death toll was around 400. I knew an old guy, great guy (in my fishing club) for awhile who lived in Miami at the time, had gone down to the Keys after the storm to help. He said there was bodies all around, decomposing. He lived to go through Andrew, but has passed on now.

You can read a brief description by Margorie Stoneham Douglas here
