Mississippi Flood, 1915

The New Orleans Hurricane of 1915 was an intense Category 4 hurricane during the 1915 Atlantic hurricane season. The hurricane killed 275 people and caused $13 million (1915 US dollars) in damage. The storm made landfall near Grand Isle, Louisiana on September 29th as a strong Category 4 hurricane with 145 mph sustained winds. The storm then moved north and weakened into a tropical storm as it crossed into Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. The storm became extratropical as it moved north. Photo originally captioned: "This image is typical of the suffering caused by the floods of 1915 where poor tenant farmers were displaced and survived after being stranded along the levees or other high ground." Frontispiece to "The Mississippi River Flood Problem," by John A. Fox.
