Imagine hanging out on the beach on a sunny day &amp; in a matter of seconds you recognize that a hurricane is quickly approaching, and you have little to no time to evacuate. This happened on September 8, 1900. Long before The Weather Channel and Capital Weather Gang, the residents of Galveston had no idea this storm was quickly approaching. This storm is the deadliest natural disaster to ever affect the U.S., resulting in up to 12,000 fatalities.
