Erik Larson’s Isaac's Storm, one the best books I’ve ever read, is all about this disaster.

I concur. It was an excellent read. This documentary draws heavily from the book.

I’ve read all of Erik Larson’s books (recently finishing his latest, on Churchill and the Blitz), except this one. Isaac’s Storm is next.

Isaac’s Storm is a great book. It got me fascinated in Galveston history.

Those poor children at the Orphange, very few things make me cry, but I was weeping as I heard that story.
