On September 8, 1900, a Category 4 hurricane ripped through Galveston, Texas, killing an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people. At the time of the 1900 hurricane, Galveston, nicknamed the Oleander City, was filled with vacationers.
Residents of Galveston, a barrier island 50 miles south of downtown Houston, were warned by the National Weather Service they could face certain death, and were among the 1 million coastal residents ordered to flee. Galveston spokeswoman Mary Jo Naschke said about 25% of the city's 57,000 residents had not left.
