The Horrific 1898 Georgia Hurricane

The 1898 Georgia Hurricane was not as deadly as the 1893 Sea Islands Hurricane. Still, this storm wreaked havoc and caused significant damage when it made landfall on October 2 in Camden County, Georgia. Some have even described this event as one of the worst disasters in the history of Georgia, which resulted in 179 deaths.

The impact on the coast of Georgia, in cities like Brunswick, was catastrophic.
