Galveston never recovered, it’s still a dump and nobody wanted to stay nor to this day. It’s a second rate place.
[5' 32"]...so math was never your strong point.
I thought it was 17 feet. Also it was over 12000 deaths estimated, and not one penny of federal money went into the entire project.
over 12,000 estimated deaths total from the storm. Only 6,000 of them were on Galveston. The storm didn't hit the island and then disappear. A category 4 is a seriously huge and powerful storm system. It hit the mainland as well, in the dead of the night, and without warning. Being born in Texas City and living in Galveston county basically my entire 51 years, that thought is terrifying. I lived in Galveston when Ike hit. It made landfall about two blocks from my front door. I'm still in Galveston county, but the morning of the day Ike hit was the last day I lived on the island. It now takes about ten minutes from my driveway to the island side of the causeway.
Isn't Galveston very small?
Why not edit the title? 5'32" makes no sense. The video is 5:32 or 5 minutes and 32 seconds long.
Hard to believe the official story here

The reason only 8 lives were lost in 1915 because people left Galveston. They still had fresh memories of the 1900 storm.
How many left?
Talk about *"a task"!* Mercy, that was an Engineering Project! 🏆
Awesome video! The dog at the end 🤣
Awesome video
My great grandmother Matthews was born on the island in 1876.
WOW !!!!

Great video. Thank you.
waste of time and effort
Yeap
WTF?
Talk about innovation.
Boi dumb
lol
Anyone came from online school?
yes
Judi-Sue V I’m haider btw
I heard my Mother and Grand Mother talk about the grade raising. They said it was horrible while it was going on. Stink,, mud and mosquitoes were definitely bad. With the 1915 storm, my Grand Father paid the last note on their home and that night, it was blown away due the Hurricane. They had to start all over once again.
Who came here from online school
John??
lmao so hard
Cool vid

the seawall was built 17 feet tall.
Great video
Why couldn’t they just make a hill instead of raising the whole frickin island
Huh
A hill ?
Smh...a hill? Sure, let's just make the island a bowl for the hill to hold water on the island.
The whole island was not raised.

WHY MONEY (MONEY) WAS AT THE CENTER THEN (FOR) THE REASON THEY SAID YES, YES, BUILD THE DAMN THING WE WERE MAKING MONEY UNTIL THAT STORM.

Walter Shattenkirk answered that for me about a year ago. He wrote, "The video is 5:32 in duration."
This video was so good
yeah the delivery of the info was so fun!
What does this mean (in the video caption): *5' 32"*
I'm talking about the [32"] part. I'm guessing that's a typo?
The video is 5:32 in duration
Thank you!!
Well done, enjoyed the history/photography. I will put this on Galveston County Museum website!

@@candisbrendel7396 Maybe it depends on the voting in the city, and what the people want. I'm not aware of any flooding other than Miami of course it's not an island.
@@candisbrendel7396 it was 17 feet.
