Incidentally, Ralph O`Hare is not the namesake for O`Hare International Airport, which, in 1949, was named in honor of Edward O`Hare, the Navy`s first Flying Ace and Medal of Honor Recipient in World War Two. In 1926, a hurricane came inland near Daytona Beach Florida, causing $2.5 million damage in Eastern Florida. When adjusted for inflation, that amounts to approximately $39.7 million.
