My family owns a beach house in Galveston built in 1886. It is in the middle of the island, so it wasn't impacted the most, but it still survived a lot of damage. It is still in good shape and we have remodeled the kitchen and some of the rooms are still mostly original. We are currently renting it out. It was also raised up after the hurricane so that also helped when hurricane Ike hit.
My Great Grandaunt, Mary Jane Heinman ( married name Popular ) died during that storm, along with her husband and four of her 8 children. The surviving children had to live with this nightmare for the rest of their lives. My Grandmother was in her early 20's living on Galveston when the storm struck. She was single. I remember my parents giving me strict orders not to ask her about the storm. She must of suffered emotionally all her life. Mary Jane was her aunt.
I hear you....I’m a Canadian senior and our schools taught only US history....if I had to do a citizenship test I would have failed miserably. The school systems failed on so many levels.

Read Isaac's Storm. It talks about the meteorologists who thought it was impossible for a major hurricane to hit Galveston and assured everyone that it couldn't happen. I'm a meteorology student in college so I might enjoy that book more than a lot of people, but I'd really recommend it if you want to learn more about the hurricane.
I just finished reading that book today. I am not. Meteorology student but I found this to be a great read. It was very disheartening reading what happened during and after the storm from many points of views.
That's by one of my favorite authors, Erik Larson. Makes you feel like you were there. Highly recommend "Isaac's Storm," as well as "Dead Wake," which he wrote about the sinking of the Lusitania.
There was a documentary about Issac Cline and the Galveston Hurricane that I watched on tv when I came home from the first day of school in eighth grade. That day was none other than August 29, 2005, the day Katrina, the hurricane bearing my name (though mine is spelled differently), turned New Orleans into an extension of Lake Pontchartrain. Huge irony there. I think it was History channel having a week long series commemorating historic hurricanes. The next day documentary was about the Perfect Storm of 1991.
My daddy lived through this storm, at 4 years old, he was strapped to his mothers back. They were in the 3rd story attic, when the water finally subsided.
My wife and I sat in our house thru a SMALL hurricane that hit Pascagoula MS back in the late 90's. Hurricane George. Water blew into the attic and ran down the outside walls and i sat in the living room by candlelight and watched the drywall fall off around the windows. I could see bare wood. It blew the whirly vent off the roof too and water poured into the attic and the drywall fell off the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. It did a lot of other damage to the house on the outside but we were ok. I can't imagine a hurricane like this one all of a sudden and you are stuck in your house. Wow.
I see a lot of people on here complaining that their teachers sent them here for an assignment..but I actually find this type of stuff interesting 🤷🏾♀️
Me also , I love to learn all walks of life , Thank God we have communication from the news to warn us days ahead to prepare , I couldnt imagine what those children and adults were going through , even the survivors
@@xvoz5073 ha yeah, I went on this ghost tour and stuff like that And found it out. Galveston is kinda Meh, nothing special about the beach, but I’m going next week so.
Did you know that during this time,When bodies were there lying in the surface,If not recognized they put the bodies in the ocean.Then the bodies washed up again,And then they burned the bodies in the pyre.(Some bodies are underground so you could be stepping on a grave in Galveston anywhere you go,Even not in a graveyard:)
I like the old political joke that every other Senator told to conceited Texans: "Shut your yap, or we'll cut Alaska in half and make Texas the THIRD biggest state!"
After this Galveston,Texas Hurricane on September 8, 1900, there were so many dead bodies, that they were stacked on top of each other in horse pulled wagons then placed on barges to be buried at sea. wado,Ann Benson.
My Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother arrived in Galveston from Sweden about 3 weeks after the great storm. They both spoke very little english. One of my Great Grandfather's first jobs was helping pick up dead bodies. And cleaning up Galveston. I've got 5 family members burned in the old Broadway century. Still today have family that live in Galveston, Pasadena and the Houston area.
I was born and raised in Galveston. There simply is no other city like it. Despite not having much going for it today, there's a saying " toes are dug in the sand " referring to moving away from the island.
There is a huge tombstone in a Malvern, Arkansas cemetery on Pine Bluff Street of a wife & mother and all her children and a writing about the hurricane that took their lives in 1900 Galveston, Texas. The father isn’t listed so I’m guessing he survived. The family isn’t buried there. It’s a memorial to them. So sad for all the lives lost.
I just read a reddit story about someone who lived in the area and they described all the chilling things that happened in their home. Once the internet came to be, the redditor said they did some research and discovered that what they were being haunted by was probably the ghost of one of the many people whom lost their life due to the hurricane. How terribly sad.
Hello from France. Today I was reading about the life of King Vidor, a famous movie director from the 1920's to the 1950's. Is he still famous in the younger generations ? I doubt but his films are worth watching if you enjoy cinema. Anyway I learned that he was from Galveston and he was 8 when the storm struck. He survived. He made his first movie about the storm when he was 19. Mayve it's somewhere on YT or an other archive. There is a 10 minutes interview on internet made in 1976 when he recalls the storm. And then I watched this very good Fox News report. The pictures are stunning. I never heard of it before and I didn't know it was the deadliest natural disaster to this day in the US (around 10 000 deads but the figures are uncertain it seems). I also checked on Gallica, the french digital national library and I read some interesting articles in the french newspaper of the time. It was on the front page on the 10th and 11th september. Theses articles mentionned the destruction of the orphanage and the hospital.
Strange or maybe an omen; Galveston had the worst 'natural' disaster, and just north across the water, a thousand feet, is where the worst' industrial' disaster happened, the great Texas City Explosion of 1947.
After this storm Galveston became SO haunted I live a hour and a half away from it and when we go we see so much paranormal crap we never go at night bc I swear last ime we did I saw a ghost and I feel that all the haunts are hurricane of 1900 victims but other than that Galveston is fing beautiful just don't go at night 😉
I remodel a home on the historical district on Wini street there in 2016 and other homes around the city. Worked late at night sometimes and heard people walking in the homes, yes I believe there is spirits there.
YESSS! My family owns a beach house in Galveston, and ever since I was really little I was so scared of walking by the hallway by myself. There are so many graveyards and they all have a scary vibe...
*Everyone here in this comment section is talking about how they came here because of an online school assignment or because their teacher sent them here* *While I'm here looking up hurricanes because a hurricane is about to hit my country...*
Isaac Cline, the chief meteorologist of the Galveston Weather Bureau (the predecessor to the National Weather Service) rode his horse and buggy up and down the island, warning people the storm was coming, but it was too late for most.
That’s not true. There is nobody on record who recalled seeing him warning people on the beach, and in fact Cline himself wrote a decade before the storm that he believed “no hurricane would seriously harm Galveston”. He believed the continental shelf would protect the gulf coast. After the storm he more or less embellished the myth of how many people he saved.
This is the reason Eric Larssen wrote the book Isaac's Storm. The story of Isaac Cline going down on horseback and warning people is debunked in Mr. Larssen's book. And there were warnings of a storm in the Gulf. Warnings from Cuba. They just weren't heeded.
Looks like most people are sent here because of school. I am not one of these people. I navigated here following Eta's landfall in Central America (the same area Mitch hit in 1998).
Realistically - Both back then and now... This storm could not be denied. The ocean does what it will. Forewarning and "actual" evacuation exits, sufficient to handle (a) mass exodus - is your only safe harbour...Maybe.
They had no idea!? Are you serious? Cubans at the time were way better at predicting hurricanes and called this one going to Texas. American weather service thought this one was going to Florida. Like a lot of things, this was a government bureaucrat failure.
Galveston didn't know what's going on because the no name storm came out of nowhere and hit Galveston head on creating a massive destruction that shocked America. Isaac Cline thought the storm was gonna head east but he didn't know till the last minute the bad storm hitting Galveston. I feel sorry for the people who died during the 1900 storm. Since there was no name during the time, that's why they call it The Great Galveston Storm of 1900. Few people left and don't want to go through this again, but most people stayed and do their best to rebuild Galveston, they started construction on the Great Wall of Galveston by the beach to protect from future storms, today, it's still holding doing its job protecting the city. Years later, they decided to raise the whole island up to connect the wall together to support it along with putting up new pipes and more, including the thick wood strong enough to hold the house together. That's why Galveston will never forget The Great Storm of 1900.
This is crazy bc today we all know a storm is coming. I’m sure most these people didn’t know or prepare at all. Also I’m sure the houses where not made to withstand anything of that.
1 in 6 dead. Hard to even fathom. The absolute danger of land mass which extends from the mainland. As with Florida (prone to hurricanes) and even Baja California runs that risk. Islands go without saying.
The Cuban ships in high seas called Havana weather Center and told them that the hurricane had entered the Gulf of Mexico which called New York Weather center but they disregarded the info.because their models predicted that it will hit somewhere in the US eastern seaboard.
Here is the story behind the galveston hurricane back then people was having a happy and blessed day then all the sudden the heard hard winds and waves pushing across the roads then about 800,000 thousand people died in the hurricane of Galveston they werent warned about it people lost there loved ones the Galveston hurricane did not have a name
I like the mud flood level of disinfo, the steam engine was still being used to power everything from Boats, trains and even bicycles! Yet they claim all they used was manpower, take a look at how they pumped all that sand, we are devolved by technology, not elevated by it.
“The next Katrina or Andrew could be brewing any day now” as a harvey survivor, that was like a warning to Texas
