This film, containing high quality footage, is interesting. It is an exceptionally rare view of the aftermath of Hurricane King in 1950:

This tropical cyclone produced sustained winds of Category 3 intensity over downtown Miami, but Miami Beach received Category 1/2 winds. The inner core was exceptionally compact, and the eye diameter was 5-7 mi at landfall.

Re: Authentic 1950 Miami Beach hurricane video
The title indicates the film was taken in 1948, but the comments indicate that the film depicts damage from Hurricane King (1950). The thread has been altered, accordingly.
