When a City Disappeared in a Single Night
What does it feel like to wake up and realize you've been catastrophically wrong? Isaac Cline, one of America's most respected meteorologists, discovered the answer on September 8, 1900. The man who had publicly declared that hurricanes couldn't seriously threaten Galveston, Texas, watched helplessly as the deadliest natural disaster in American history consumed his city, his home, and his wife. Over 6,000 people died that night-more than the Johnstown Flood, the Chicago Fire, and the San Francisco Earthquake combined. The tragedy wasn't just about wind and water. It was about the dangerous marriage of scientific arrogance and institutional pride, a cautionary tale that reverberates through every modern disaster where warnings go unheeded.
