If you really want to see something, go to Galveston Island. There are lots of buildings perserved from the 1900 hurricane, and you can see the high water mark stains on the walls. At the Tremont House restuarant on Market St, it is kind of eerie to sit there and look up to see that you would be about ten feet under water if you had been in that spot that day. They were burning and burying bodies around here for months after that.
