When the devastating 1900 Galveston Hurricane leveled the city, St. Mary Orphan Home, run by the Sisters of the Incarnate world, was one of the casulties. Ten nuns and almost 100 children died, trapped inside. Now, the Wal-Mart that sits on the home's former site claims to be the most "Haunted Wal-Mart in America."

By 1885 Galveston was the largest and richest city in Texas. Multiple railroads served the island, as well as an extensive streetcar network and rail-served wharfs.

Hurricane season is here, so it's time for a quick refresher on the Forecast "Cone." Graphics like this show the storm's possible path up to 5 days out. This does NOT show the size of the storm or where impacts will be felt. #TXwx #HOUwx #GLSwx #BCSwx #Houston #Galveston
