Texas officials are warning Galveston residents of "certain death" if not evacuated. I hope history doesn't repeat.
The Hurricane of 1900 made landfall on the city of Galveston, Texas on September 8, 1900.
The hurricane caused great loss of life with the estimated death toll between 6,000 and 12,000 individuals ... the number most cited in official reports is 8,000. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 is to date the deadliest natural disaster ever to strike the United States.
