Although it was not as powerful - only category four, the great Galveston hurricane of 1900 was far more devastating. The city of Galveston, Texas was destroyed and over 8000 people were killed.

Another deadly hurricane--perhaps the deadliest after the Galveston storm--was the Lake Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928, which devastated Puerto Rico and then killed about 2,000 people in Florida. It inspired this tune:
