Name: Random Winds

Author: Belva Plain

At the start of the twentieth century, Galveston, Texas, was a thriving coastal city framed by optimism. Isaac Cline, a respected meteorologist, declared that no hurricane could strike the city, a confidence that would be shattered by the 1900 storm. The book traces Cline’s writings, telegrams, and the testimony of survivors to reconstruct the day when the Gulf’s winds turned Galveston into a battlefield of water and death. It explores the clash between human arrogance and the unforgiving power of nature, offering a sobering reminder of the limits of scientific certainty.
