Great Galveston Hurricane The season had an average start with what would become the Great Galveston Hurricane forming near the Isle of Youth on August 27th. It was first recorded immediately as a tropical storm, with winds of 40 mph (64 km/h). It plowed through the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Cuba as a tropical storm. After leaving Cuba and entering the Gulf of Mexico, it intensified rapidly into a Category 4 hurricane, packing 135 mph (217 km/h) winds. It slammed into the south-eastern part of Texas, Galveston, Texas, with astounding force. After ravaging that area, it quickly diminished into into a tropical storm, and took a long track through the central United States, through Michigan, into New York and through Maine, all the while maintaining tropical storm status. All in all, the Great Galveston Hurricane is responsible for 8,000 to 12,000 deaths, making it the deadliest natural disaster ever to strike the United States.
