High Waves Pound. Boulevard. MIAMI, Fla, September 28 (#)—A 1| hurricane from the West Indles cast | the furies of its wind and raging seas into the Florida Keys tonight. The storm, swesping out of the Atlantic after a puzzled Florida had tried for four days to enticipate its progress, brought gales that thrashed South- tack of the back lash of the hurricane ; eastern Florida from Miami to Key“ West last night and today. Woather observers, dicapped in their reports by crippled communica- ticn facilities, believed that the center of the storm was cutting ss the thin southern extremity of the Florida Peninsula, some distance to the south of Miami. Miami and Miami Beach were lashed todsy by winds officially reported at 54 miles an hour. Other communities to the south and along the coast were similarly affected. Damage reported early tonight included the disruption |and crashed against light poles or the | of power, telephone and telegraph lines | and the unrocfing by the wind of a houses in this section. Heavy seas beat along the coast dur- ing the day. Several persons were injured on the auseway between Miami and Miami Beach, as_the usually placid water of Biscayne Bay was lashed to a fury that today flooded Biscayne boulevard here.
