Good opportunity to read the historical accounts of the Storm of 1900 which almost destroyed the island of Galveston, TX. After that storm, the City of Galveston on the island was raised about 15 feet and the Seawall was built to protect Galveston from future hurricanes.

Guy on Fox just read an account of a guy from a past big hurricane about the number of folks bit by poisonous snakes as both people/critters were scrambling for what high ground might remain...

There were no real warnings back in those days. My brother-in-law's grandmother was a child of 9 at the time. She and her family did survive in a three story house with water coming up through the third floor! She passed away at the age of 90, and we will always remember her story about that terrible hurricane in Galveston.
