If Galveston Hurricane happened today...
I think this because...
I know this because...

I think if the Galveston Hurricane today it wouldn't  be as bad, though still severe it would be better because we have more technology to fend ourselves from hurricanes, and scientist have conducted more research on hurricanes. As said in the text, I do not think people thought this wasn't a dangerous storm at first, but people with special professions will be able to predict the storm beforehand which will help a lot with getting people to safety. At the end of the passage "A Changing World" there is a picture of people gathering around the beach and the passage remarks how they were watching the waves in the ocean. In today's age, people would not do this as scientists would have warned people about how there was an upcoming hurricane. I do think many things would have been destroyed still and people would still get injured, but not as many people may have died on that day and we would have been completely prepared. In the passage "A Raging Sea" It shows pictures of buildings that have been destroyed and toppled over, well, if it had been in modern times that might of not happened due to the fact we have protection against floods and large storms nowadays. It was also affected because of where it was and the fact that a well-known reporter had said Galveston wouldn't have been hit, and it would be strange if it had. So, nobody had been prepared. Especially due to the fact Galveston was a port, and boats can't sail without water, so it was by an ocean and a beach. The hurricane would have not been as bad but it the severity level was increased because of it's location. The floods would of not been as bad as it was in the day, because water from nearby locations conjoined with the current flood rain from the hurricane and the water level raised extremely because of the rain.

If the Galveston Hurricane hit us there wouldn't be as bad because there wouldn't be flooding because we do not live between a bay and a the Gulf of Mexico. Because of the water that was close to the water all the water flowed over Galveston.And flooding would not even be where we are because we do not have any big waters between us. After that storm it wiped out Galveston completely and had made what you might know now, Houston the Capital of Texas.

If the Galveston Hurricane happened today I think it wont be as bad.Because now we have more technology so it wouldn't be like the hurricane wold come out of no where.The news would say there is going to be a hurricane in Galveston today.So that people can get out of the city faster and will be safe .Also are town is not near the Gulf of Mexico and a bay so the Hurricane would not be as bad as the one in Galveston.

I think if the Galveston Hurricane was to happen right now,that it wouldn't have been as bad as it was when it hit Galveston in 1900,i think this because we would know like 2 or 3 months before it would hit us so we would have time to get out of the area to be safe also it was between the golf of mexico and a bay so it combined together to make a hurricane.While that was happening other people where at the beach watching the waves and cheering them on, but they did not know that they where gonna get hit and get 🤬 by this giant hurricane that was gonna hit there town Galveston Texas.The difference of it would be, that we have lots of more places to stay safe in. We also have more technology. Back then they did not have as much as science and everything we have now. I also think more people would have no died or got killed.

If the Galveston Hurricane happened today I think it wouldn't be as bad because that happened a long time ago.I think this because now we have the news so we would know that it was coming,and we have stronger  buildings now.And back than they never knew that the storm was coming until it hit.And they had water in front of them and behind them so when it rained the water flooded both sides and swallowed Galveston Texas.

galveston hurrcan in 1900

if the Galveston Hurricane hit we will know about it i think this because. and the flood drains would be cleared. and we will need to block up windows or move up stairs. we will be prepared. we are also not by a bay and we dont have strong winds or much rain. we are also not surrounded by water like Galveston.

If Galveston Hurricane came today.I think it would be a lot different because a lot of things has changed now and days.I think i would not be as bad because we have a lot of things that have change so maybe the hurricane won't effect as much ow then is did then exspeclly since they had two body of waters near them witch effected them even more.

I think that if the galveston huricane were today it would be differant because we have more ways now to stop a huricane from destroying a city or townbecause now we have our modern technoligy and a lot of people that can help keep a huricane from causing such damage, although it will .still have a very big effect on the world and will still cause quite a lot of destruction. because nowwe have modern technoligy tht we can use to track the hurricane and help us stop is from causing as severe as it would be back then. and also since we have the moder technolgy that we can use to track the hurricane we can use that technoligy and we can evacute the town or city so that there are not nearly as much deaths or injurys. And knowing that we can track the storm there has been a huge shortage in and injurys by storms and some other natural disasters.

I think that if the Galveston hurricane occurred today I think it would not be as deadly. Although it might not 🤬 as many people as it previously had, I still believe that it would cause an immense amount of destruction. The reason I think that it wouldn't be as deadly is because I know that with modern technology we would be able to predict the movement of the storm. Therefore, I believe that the storm might not be as effective to as many people. Another big change is that if the Galveston Hurricane hit us today, not as much debris would cause so much calamity because buildings in the modern times have been built with much more structure, support, and tougher materials. This improvement would now have the ability to save a lot of lives. Yet another change is that almost everybody nowadays have some sort of vehicle. Also, about everywhere has well paved roads. This would allow many more families to evacuate their town, or city. This would be a great improvement because many people wouldn't be able to get trapped in their streets or homes. The last good thing that would happen today is that if it hit today, many people would be covered by insurance and a lot of families would not be as devastated. This would mean that many people would be broke after the effects of the hurricane. They would not have to pay as much money at one time

I think that if the Galveston Hurricane happended now, it would have been better then in 1900 because in that time period no one had meteorologist to tell them that the storm is coming and we would know a head of time and evacuate  to a safe place. In the year 2018, we have more technology to help us.

If the galverston hurricane hapen to day it would still look real bad but alot of people wood int die that day

If the galverston hurricane was to day I think It would still be bad but now we can predict the the hurricane so we can get prepard before the hurricane hit and every one can evacutate the hole city and then not that many people will die .

If the Galveston hurricane was today it would cause a lot less damage because of new inventions to help stop the hurricane. Now people now that if there is a hurricane coming you can build a safe structure or go inside your basement. If worst comes to worst than you will have to find a ditch outside and get as low as possible.They could make barriers so it would not flood a lot of Galveston so the bay or the ocean wouldn't make water go through.
