  IN 1978 MARLAN CAUDLE, BRIDGES SECOND SON FROM A DIFFERENT MARRIAGE, SAID THAT HIS HALF BROTHER'S MOTHER DROWNED IN THE GALVESTON - HOUSTON HURRICANE AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY. NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ON THE HURRICANE ---------------------------------- MARYLAND INDEPENDENT THE KILLERS ARE AMONG US - PART II SAFETY, SURVIVAL DEPEND ON KNOWLEDGE BY JOHN D. DRISCOLL, INDEPENDENT STAFF WRITER VOL 125, NO. 54, WALDORF, MARYLAND FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1995, PAGE A-1, 3, 9 THE GREAT 1900 HURRICANE - GALVESTON THE "GREAT 1900 HURRICANE" THAT DESTROYED HALF OF GALVESTON, TEXAS, AND KILLED ONE OUT OF EVERY SEVEN PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE STANDS AS A TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF THE HURRICANE. WHAT WAS MISSING AT THAT TIME WAS A MODERN STORM TRACKING SYSTEM, RELIABLE COMMUNICATIONS AND AN EFFECTIVE PUBLIC WARNING SYSTEM. THE DEATH TOLL WAS IN EXCESS OF 6000, AND THE STORM REMAINS THE WORST NATURAL DISASTER IN U.S. HISTORY. ACCORDING TO THE 1900 WRITINGS OF DR. I. M. CLINE OF THE WEATHER BUREAU, GALVESTON, MANY PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T DROWN WHEN THE STORM MADE LANDFALL ON SEPT. 8 DIED FROM TRAUMA INFLICTED BY FLYING DEBRIS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO STANDING SELTER LEFT TO PROTECT THEM. THE CITY WAS COMPLETELY SUBMERGED. SUPRISINGLY, THE STORM WAS ONLY A CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE, ACCORDING TO THE BEST ESTIMATE AVAILABLE FROM GORDON E. DUNN, FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER. THE INDIANOLA HURRICANES - TEXAS IN 1875 AND 1886, TWO CATEGORY 4 HURRICANES STRUCK THE COAST OF TEXAS AT INDIANOLA. THE FIRST KILLED AT LEAST 175 PEOPLE AND VIRTUALLY DESTROYED THE TOWN. THE SECOND, JUST 11 YEARS LATER, COMPLETELY WASHED INDIANOLA OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. THOUGH THEY ARE NOT HURRICANES FROM THE 20TH CENTURY, THEY MERIT MENTION HERE BECAUSE THEY STAND AS THE MOST EXTREME CASE OF NATURE'S UNRELENTING FURY. THE CASUALTIES OF THE 1886 STORM WILL NEVER BE KNOWN. FROM THESE TRAGEDIES AND THE GREAT 1900 HURRICANE AT GALVESTON, U.S. AUTHORITIES LEARNED THAT THEY NEEDED TO DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE TRACKING AND WARNING SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE LOSS OF LIFE SEVERE TROPICAL STORMS CAUSE. THAT IS A PROCESS THAT NOW INVOLVES INTERNATIONAL TREATIES AND COOPERATION FOR RESEARCH AS WELL AS EMERGENCY RELIEF EFFORTS. 20 STRONGEST, DEADLIEST HURRICANES IN U.S. HISTORY A LIST OF THE 20 FOLLOWS RANKING THE GALVESTON, TEXAS 1900 HURRICANE SEVENTH COSTING $ 0.7 BILLION.
