U.S. Weather Bureau forecasters were aware of the Galveston hurricane as early as August 30. By the time the storm passed over Cuba (September 4) and reached a position just northwest of Key West (September 6), forecasters were convinced the storm would continue to track to the northeast.
The deadliest natural disaster in US history, the Galveston Hurricane is estimated to have killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people. The storm hit the city of Galveston, Texas, on Sept. 8, 1900 with winds up to 145 miles per hour. Pictured: House in Galveston, Texas, October 15, 1900
