Galveston, Texas September 8,1900: very hard to read story as the author diligently researched the facts about the deadliest storm in history. At first, there was lots of weather bureau facts and preamble to the storm that I found myself scanning. When the storm hit and I read about the 6000 poor souls who perished and how some were able to survive, the terror was indescribable.

Don't read this book before you go to sleep because... well you just won't! I was up all night thinking about it.
