The powerful, panoramic documentary The Great Storm recreates the turning point in Galveston history: the 1900 hurricane. Experience the devastation of the deadliest natural disaster in United States history through eyewitness accounts, historic photographs and dramatic sound and visual effects.
A major center of commerce, with a population of 40,000 at the turn of the century, Galveston was the most important seaport in Texas and poised for greatness in the new century. Then, on September 8, 1900, came a hurricane of such fury it drove an angry ocean before it, covering the island from Gulf to Bay and laying waste to the city by the sea.
Now, in an amazing and powerful show, the story of The Great Storm has been captured for all time as a tribute to Galveston’s indomitable spirit.
