During that one the nuns at an orphanage tied the dozens of orphans together and to themselves as the water rose and buildings disappeared. All of them were killed.

There's a grotto/shrine there built by a nun in the early 1920s after she experienced horrible hurricanes and saw the loss of life.

She built the grotto, and said that as long as it stands, Key West will never bear the full brunt of a hurricane. Yes, I went through some harrowing times during a few hurricanes, but there was no loss of life.

I'm not Catholic, but along with many others - we all would go and light a candle there as storms approached. To this day, Key West has still not had a direct hit from a bad storm.

You can google it - it's a very cool place.
