This review is from: That Terrible Texas Weather: Tales of Storms, Drought, Destruction, and Perseverance (Paperback)

I was pretty interested in the chapter about the Indianola hurricane of 1880-something (I'm not sure about the year). I imagined what it must have been like back then. That hurricane literally wiped Indianola off the Texas map. That's why many people have never heard of it, except maybe for some descendants of the people who lived through it or died in it. I think that I would like to go to the area where it happened and see it for myself.
