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.

Allentown, is a populated place located in Apache County, Arizona, United States. It has an estimated elevation of 6,145 feet (1,873 m) above sea level.
Allentown got its start c. 1881 when the railroad was extended to that point. The community was named after the railroad construction superintendent Allan Johnson, who in later years returned to the area and took to cattle ranching. A post office called Allantown was established in 1924, and remained in operation until 1930.
The site of Allentown is included within the boundaries of the census-designated place of Houck.
