There have been countless natural disasters of various sorts world wide throughout history. All have changed the lives of the people who victim and survived or didn't. It is hard to tell all of them unless you individually learn of them through personal accounts and such. Really it's the major ones that must be paid taken into account. So what are the most historical natural disasters involving flood, hurricane, typhoon, and/or tornado that have devastated North America? I will discuss the 1900 Hurricane of Galveston, Texas, the Tri-state Tornado of 1925, the Lake Okeechobee hurricane and flood of 1928, the Florida Keys hurricane of 1935, the 1930's Dust Bowl, New England's 1938 hurricane, El Nino, Hurricane Andrew (1992), the 1993 Midwest Great Flood, and the Oklahoma and Kansas tornado Outbreak of 1999. Yes, there were others and this article covers many storms but I figure this much is enough. I will also name disasters that happened elsewhere globally for everyone interest.Galveston Hurricane of 1900
It was September 4th, and at the US Weather Bureau of Galveston when warnings were notified by D.C.'s office stating that a tropical storm had moved north of Cuba. The future path of the storm was yet to be determined.
Conditions were favorable enough in the Gulf of Mexico to strengthen such a storm to come. For weeks not much cloud cover had been reported and water was warm. Ingredients to create a hurricane out of a tropical storm within days. Greater strength was likely if it moved through and past the Gulf.
