Picture of the Day - Galveston, 1900

















On Sunday September 9, 1900, a major hurricane struck Galveston, Texas. The storm surge completely inundated the island killing 6,000 of the 37,000 residents. It was the deadliest natural disaster in American history.

Just a little regional remembrance.
