Hi Keri,

Great blog. I grew up on the east coast of FL and love the State’s rich and somewhat offbeat history. Keep it up.

Comment on The Donna Letters by Susan Rose

I was 11 years old, living on Calvin Blvd. in Fort Myers (15 miles inland), when Donna came to visit. At this time, the local banks gave out hurricane tracking maps, so my sisters and I were tracking the storm with radio broadcasts of Donna’s latitude and longitude positions, hoping we would get to be in the eye.

We were oblivious to the potential danger of a direct hit from a category 4 hurricane. We watched the storm through our picture window that was only taped to prevent shattering.

Finally, we got our wish. The calm eye of the storm came over Fort Myers. We walked outside, up and down the street with my father by our side. For a change of pace, when the wind resumed, it blew in the opposite direction.

My mother is still living, and she recently told me this story: Since all power was out in Fort Myers…hence no communication…my grandparents in Indiana were hearing from the media that Fort Myers had been wiped off the map. (Typical media sensationalism.) For several hours, my grandparents believed we all had perished.

I was crossing the Atlantic on the SS Nieuw Amsterdam from England in Donna. Very slowly the ship would descend into a deep valley between mountains of water, then begin to climb again, and as the propellers came out of the water the whole ship shook and in a bit we seemed to be on top of a mountain. Then the slow descent began again and as the keel hit the water there would be a crash. I never made it into the dining room. They served bullion broth on deck each morning, and all I ate on the whole voyage was three bowls of that. To keep from being too sick I stayed on deck all of every day, and with bright sun and very high winds I was bright red by New York. I then went down to Miami to friends, and they had lost their house on Florida Keys.
