Isaac Cline, chief meteorologist of Galveston, considered the city safe from hurricanes. On September 8, 1900, a colossal storm devastated the island and killed thousands. Larson reconstructs the catastrophe with real documents and thriller pacing, showing the arrogance of believing nature can be tamed.
