The 1900 Galveston Hurricane. The deadliest hurricane in U.S. history was not Hurricane Katrina. Not even close. It was the storm that hit Galveston, Texas, exactly 108 years and one week ago. That storm killed about 8,000 Americans and leveled what had been the largest city in Texas. It was a vicious storm with 130 mph winds. But, like Katrina, it needn't have been as deadly as it was.
Over the weekend, civil-engineering experts and officials in the port city of Galveston expressed relief that the barrier island did not get squarely hit as it did by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and that the area's seawall had not been breached, and city officials confirmed to TIME on Monday that the city has not been notably affected by the storm.
