Hurricanes Have Helped Pen American History
Washington reports that Hurricane David joins a long record of storms shaping U S history. From the 1900 Galveston catastrophe to the Lake Okeechobee disaster of 1928 and the 1837 life preserver law, each hurricane left lasting impact. It notes storms altered battles, borders, leaders, and even empires, while warning that David may threaten the Appalachian region with heavy rains and floods.
