Original 1947 Associated Press Wire Photo showing hurricane damage to a drive-in theater in Miami, Florida. The attached AP caption dated September 18, 1947, states that tropical hurricane winds sweeping in from the sea gave the drive-in theater a heavy lacing, leaving visible structural damage and debris throughout the property. An excellent disaster-related image documenting the effects of the devastating 1947 Florida hurricane season. This photograph originated from a Pittsburgh-area newspaper archive scrapbook collection. Measures approximately 6⅜" x 8¾". Displays age-related wear, light toning, and handling wear consistent with newsroom and archive use. Please see photos.
