think. What happened to Galveston TX in 1900. The same thing happened for hundreds of years before weather satellites. The locals had learned what types of weather preceded hurricanes and learned when to head for higher ground.IMVPO I think that the advent of the machine age started the increase in strength of North American hurricanes. Same with Pacific Cyclones(I was in Biloxi MS 2 blocks from the Gulf when Camille hit in 1969 and in Queensland AUS in 2011 for Cyclone Yasi. Both Cat 5 storms. Was in the AF in 69. The experts thought that Camille was going to hit Tampa, so we, along with our airplanes evacuated to Biloxi, then had to hunker down when it turned to Biloxi.I saw an ocean going cargo ship on the land side of Hiway 90. Took the Navy SeaBees a couple of years to dig a channel to refloat the ship)
