Everything's haunted in Galveston. The Great Galveston Hurricane rocked the city back in 1900, still holding it's title for the deadliest natural disaster in US history, and it left a lot of spirits in it's wake… A headless spirit who haunts the railroad museum, a group of brave nuns who tried to rescue their children from the storm, and ghost kids running amuck in Walmart. Galveston sure does know how to haunt.  Have ghost stories of your own? E-mail them to us at twogirlsoneghostpodcast@gmail.com This episode is sponsored by Asterpro, Honeylove, Athena Club, and Fum.

Show Notes Host: Ryan Harris Guests: Brian LaMarre, NWS Meteorologist in Charge, Tampa Bay Description: In 1900, an estimated 8,000 people lost their lives in the Great Galveston Hurricane that September. Our understanding of hurricane risk has improved immensely since then, but still over 100 were killed just 18 months ago in Hurricane Ian. Risk is defined as the probability of some hazard occurring multiplied by the impact that hazard may have on an individual, population, or system. The first problem here is that humans don't always understand probabilities, and the second problem is that humans have a psychological bias to downplay or plain ignore the risk of hazards because they haven't personally experienced the hazard before. Hurricane Ian was a perfect example of poor risk perceptions, and it's the first topic we uncover this year as Brian LaMarre from the National Weather Service joins The Triple Point™. Hear about how the Weather Service is improving risk perceptions with better technology and communications strategies, and also the importance of personal accountability and trusting authoritative sources.

As we approach the one year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey, the nation’s worst rainstorm, Houston Public Media takes a look back at some of the biggest storms that have impacted the Gulf Coast and its development, policies, and people. “Hurricane Season” host Andrew Schneider starts with the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

The Great Hurricane of 1900 that destroyed Galveston was the deadliest natural disaster in US history. Host Regina Miller sits down with AccuWeather meteorologist and COO Evan Myers to discuss what contributed to the mass destruction, and why more than 8000 people who perished never saw it coming. And AccuWeather’s Senior Meteorologist Dan Kotlowski talks about Atlantic vs. Pacific storm development on this week’s AccuWeather Podcast.

The Great Galveston Hurricane arrived on a Saturday, September 8, 1900 — almost without warning. Galveston, the grand dame of Texas, a vibrant port city sitting haughtily on a sand bar facing the Gulf, was reduced to a splintered wasteland. Some 6,000 people perished on the island and at least 4000-6000 on the mainland. Survivors struggled to save themselves amid the towering waves, rocking debris, and floating wreckage of their city. As part of our Lost & Found Sound series, producer John Burnett revisits the deadliest natural disaster in US history with recorded oral histories and memoirs from the children, the lovers – the survivors of the 1900 storm.
