  • Summary

  • As we approach the one year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey, the nation’s worst rainstorm, Houston Public Media takes a look back at some of the biggest storms that have impacted the Gulf Coast and its development, policies, and people. “Hurricane Season” host Andrew Schneider starts with the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

    The Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900 remains the single deadliest disaster in U.S. history -- killing more than the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, the 9/11 attacks, and Hurricane Katrina combined. Galveston took years to rebuild, raising the elevation of its structures and building a 3-mile long seawall.
