Exactly. See post #13.Deadliest, not even close. The 1900 Galveston Hurricane killed at least 6000 but est up to 12k. The entire Strand district was a morgue and they had to burn huge piles of bodies. The smoke could be seen from Houston
The most accepted “guess” regarding deaths, is 8k
My Great Grandfather worked on repairing the rail line between Houston and Galveston following the 1900 storm. He never would eat crabs after that. He said he cleaned up corpses, and when they would pick them up, crabs would crawl out of the abdominal cavity of the bodies.
