6. Labor Day Hurricane

Labor Day is one of few 12 biggest hurricanes ever recorded in the world which doesn’t have its official human name. Of course, the disaster hit on 1st May 1935. The Labor Day hurricane was one of the first category 5 hurricanes to hit the States in the 20th century. We won’t bother you with the descriptions, but we’d rather just say how one year later, the 17-foot-tall Florida Keys Memorial was built on Upper Matecumbe Key in memory of the hurricane victims.
