[Ditter]

Galveston Island was very low, only a few feet above sea level, I don't know how strong the wind was. The storm tide came ashore and my grandfather survived it in the 2nd floor of a house. He said the water was 2 feet deep in the 2nd floor. An estimated 6000 to 10,000 people died.

Galveston and there was this Hurricane called the “Labor Day” Hurricane. Like back in 1935 that was supposedly the strongest on record. Hurricane Camille in 1969. The top three hurricanes evah.
