Before dawn on September 8, 1900, Isaac Cline, who ran the Galveston office of the U.S. Weather Bureau, drove down to the beach and timed the waves. Nine years earlier he had written in the city newspaper that fears of a hurricane seriously damaging Galveston were "an absurd delusion". By the next morning, at least 6,000 people on the island were dead. It is still the deadliest natural disaster in American history. Twenty-five years before, a hurricane had wiped out Indianola, Galveston's rival down the coast. Galveston talked about a seawall and built nothing. In Washington, the Weather Bureau expected the storm to turn toward Florida and the Atlantic coast. This is the story of how a rich, modern city ignored the warning it had already been given, and of the wall it built only after the dead were counted.
