1900 - The greatest weather disaster in U.S. records occurred when a hurricane struck Galveston TX. A tide fifteen feet high washed over the island demolishing or carrying away buildings, and drowning more than 6000 persons. The hurricane destroyed more than 3600 houses, and total damage was more than thirty million dollars. Winds to 120 mph, and a twenty foot storm surge accompanied the hurricane. Following the storm, the surf was three hundred feet inland from the former water line. The hurricane claimed another 1200 lives outside of the Galveston area.

Weyauwega ( wy-ə-WEE-gə, colloquially "Wega") is a city in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 1,796 at the 2020 census.
The city is located mostly within the Town of Weyauwega, though it is politically independent of the town. Small portions extend north into the adjacent Town of Royalton. The name "Weyauwega" is described by the Weyauwega Chamber of Commerce as potentially meaning "here we rest" in an indigenous language because the town's origin was a resting point between two rivers when Native Americans had to portage their canoes. Given the local indigenous culture is described as Menominee, the language may be the Menominee language. European colonist activity in the area began with a small building set up by fur traders, from which the town later grew.
