Yes, and by death toll it (hopefully) will never be matched. It changed Galveston forever. My wife's dad would say she probably would have been a Galveston baby if it wasn't for that storm (if it wasn't obvious, she was born and raised in Houston). In 1915, a similar strength hurricane hit Galveston with only 53 casualties. But by damage and cost, this will very likely be higher.
