 | | The Galveston Hurricane of 1900, a category 4 hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas on 8 September, drove a devastating surge ashore; 6,000-12,000 lives were lost, making it the deadliest natural disaster ever to strike the United States (Hebert, 1990). |
 | | Predictions of storm surge inundation are now made with the use of a numerical model called SLOSH, which has great value in devising hurricane evacuation zones, as well as its potential role in planning and zoning of coastal development. |
 | | A method used after the North Sea Flood of 1953 is the construction of dams and storm surge barriers. |
