“Ping for historical accuracy.”

Is that sarcasm?

I’d ping it for historical inaccuracy because a massive hurricane hit Galveston, TX in 1900 and tore through America up past Maine.

A fascinating book was written on it: “Isaac’s Storm: A Man, A Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History” by Erik Larson.

You are kinda of making my point, a devastating hurricane hit Galevelston 123 years ago, was that climate change?

June 4 is earlier than September 9 or thereabouts.

June is earlier in hurricane season than Galveston, which happened in September.
