Seawall Saves Galveston as Storm Hits Gulf Coast
Galveston Texans report a surge rivaling the 1900 disaster with ten lives lost near Tarpon pier and a $100,000 damage estimate. The seawall, built four years ago at $2,000,000, largely shields the city though fears of sand erosion could raise costs. Traffic to the island is halted until a breached barge channel is repaired and the island remains cut off from the mainland.
