No first time visitors to
Galveston should miss this overview of the devastating
hurricane of September 8, 1900. The deadliest natural disaster
in United States history, the storm hit the Island with winds
over 120 miles an hour and a 20-foot tidal surge. Over 6,000
people died and one-third of the city was completely
destroyed. The 27-minute multi-image documentary gives actual
accounts from letters and diaries of survivors during and
after the storm.
