Sitting up there in the middle of “bum f…ck Egypt” Ever had to ride one out? 😉 It really sucks when you’re in a structure all buttoned up in the middle of the night with the wind howling so loud it sounds like a freight train comin’ thru.

> [@sfetty](#): > > Looking like one of the worst storms to ever hit the US ☹ I don’t know what you mean by worst… But the Galveston storm should fit the meaning… \*" The Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was the deadliest hurricane to ever hit the United States and caused between 8000 and 12000 deaths. The storm reached the Texas coast south of Galveston on September 8 as a Category 4 hurricane with a storm surge of 8 to 15 feet." \* [Next page](https://forum.nachi.org/t/hurricane-matthew/110017.md?page=2)
