Jim Cantore just mentioned how this reminds him of the book Isaac's Storm (on the 1900 Galveston storm)....cool, Jim and I read the same geeky weather stuff.

By the way, I finished the book and it is excellent!

September 8, 1900. Galveston, Texas. A typically hot and humid day. Women tended to chores; men traveled downtown to work, including Isaac Cline, head of the National Weather Bureau's local office. Cline believed the island was safe from hurricane, but by afternoon, a Category-4 storm proved how wrong he was. In a 2-hour special based on Erik Larson's book Isaac's Storm, weather experts, historians, and survivors' descendents guide us through that horrific day that claimed over 6,000.
