The Galveston Hurricane Becomes the Deadliest US Disaster

A Category 4 hurricane drove a storm surge of over 15 ft across Galveston Island, killing between 6,000 and 12,000 people. It remains the deadliest natural disaster in United States history.

The strongest storm of the 1900 Atlantic hurricane season left between 6,000 and 12,000 dead, with 8,000 the figure most cited in official reports. [S]
Most deaths came after a storm surge of over 15 ft inundated Galveston with 8 to 12 ft of water. [S]
The storm destroyed about 7,000 buildings including 3,636 demolished homes, and left roughly 10,000 people homeless out of a population under 38,000. [S]
It ended the Golden Era of Galveston: investors turned to Houston instead, and three engineers were commissioned to raise the island's shoreline by 17 ft and build a 10-mile seawall. [S]
Damage across its whole path exceeded $35.4 million, about $1.3 billion in 2023 terms. [S]
The National Hurricane Center lists it among the defining hurricanes in US history. [1]

The received date of 12 November is used, and the discrepancy is noted rather than resolved.
