Since things are somewhat quiet along the TX gulfcoast....I did a search on the hurricane that hit Indianola in 1875. http://alvyray.com/Family/Stories/Indianola.htm
Interesting story in the fact that this port was in competition with Galveston at the time. Bombarded by Union troops, camels, washed away twice by storms! enjoy, galvbay
