1928 - Hurricane San Felipe, a monster hurricane, which left 600 dead in Guadeloupe, and 300 dead in Puerto Rico, struck West Palm Beach FL causing enormous damage, and then headed for Lake Okeechobee. When the storm was over, the lake covered an area the size of the state of Delaware, and beneath its waters were 2000 victims. The only survivors were those who reached large hotels for safety, and a group of fifty people who got onto a raft to take their chances out in the middle of the lake.

Walnut Grove is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sacramento County, California, United States. Founded in 1851 by Japanese immigrants, it served as an important port between Sacramento and San Francisco. It is part of the Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Roseville Statistical Area. The population was 1,452 at the 2020 census, down from 1,542 at the 2010 census.
As one of the only remaining Japanese-American built cities in the United States, Walnut Grove is considered a historical district and National Historic Landmark. About 40 of the original buildings still stand.
Later, Japanese immigrants settled here to work on asparagus farms. The first known Japanese owned business was a noodle shop, which opened in 1896.
