The following site list more than 5,000 known people who died in Galveston, TX in its 1900 Storm. Galveston at the time was considered to be the "Wall Street West of the Mississippi" and was heavily populated. Of course, it was and is a very important seaport for Texas and many immigrants passed through it in the 19th and early 20th century. Many never left the island. http://www.gthc.org/exhibits/storms/1900/victims/stormvic.htm Sally Rolls Pavia Sun City, AZ [email protected] All incoming and outgoing email checked by Norton Anti-Virus 2002
