[Stonewall Jackson]

A lot of folks don't realize just how dangerous storm surges can be. My great-grandfather was killed by the storm surge caused by the Galveston Hurricane of 1915.

He was a conductor on the Galveston-Houston Inner Urban Railway and was trying to evacuate some of the women and children from the island when the surge caught them on the causeway.

I know something like that happened in the 1900 hurricane, I didn't realize there was another one that did the same in 1915.
