How the Weather Changed History on the Weather Channel. This specific episode was about the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, and how the changes they made to the city and the island as a whole afterward still stood up during Ike a few weeks ago. Without the lessons the Galvestoners learned 108 years ago, Ike would have done a LOT more damage than it did. Rather interesting, especially since it covers Victorian times, which is one of my favorite eras of all time. Next weeks episode, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. I'll try to tune into that too, as it's also Victorian times.
