The book starts off with it being a nice day and a very humid
and hot day in Galveston. Next they start by introducing characters and how
they feel about the storm. Then they start to say well then the pressure went
down then the temperature had gotten so high it hit the top of the thermometers.
The next part a person named Captain J.W Simmons sets sail with his crew when
in the middle of the night it starts pouring and pouring then the drain gutters
start to flood and the water just gets higher and higher and in the morning when
they wake up they have to wade through water. And the air pressure just keeps
getting lower and lower and the water just gets higher and higher and waves are
crashing in. The water was covering so track some people had to sit in a train
until the storm was over. Next people start running inside their houses and hiding
and the hurricane hit. After the storm people came out to see the destruction.
The people of Galveston estimate a thousand people dead but when they went
looking for survivors they found out it was seven thousand people dead. They
then sent for help from other cities that were close by. After the storm everyone
was sad they said it was hard for them to survive through the winter.
