Isaac's Storm

A cautionary tale if you will. Respect and trustworthiness is earned, not given. At the dawn of the century, Galveston was looking like the place to be, but arrogance from the National Weather Service sealed the city's fate.

Galveston would be torn apart by scandal in American meteorology in an attempt not to cause panic, hand waving the knowledge Caribbean countries had of hurricanes and the insistance that a disaster couldn't happen here. Even Isaac, who was a brilliant met couldn't see the writing on the wall for the city he called home.

From time to time it's as if we have yet to fully understand the true power of Hurricanes, Katrina, Harvey, Sandy, just a few that caught America by surprise. After each, lessons learned, but not taken to heart.
